T2/5
Today I will analyze data about “Farm Alligator Harvest”.
The following data was given to us from Mr. French. When you take his class you will see this
information again and use it for a science focus.
Your focus as a group will be on
No. Farms – Licensed vs. No. Farms – Sold Skins
Part I
Your expectations are to create an appropriate bivariate data table to correctly represent your given
data.
Before you begin:
1. Do you know what a bivariate data table is?
Part II
Your expectations are to calculate the average rate of change between:
a. 14 and 47 No. Farms – Licensed
b. 12 to 63 No. Farms – Licensed
Part III
Your expectations are to create a scatter plot for your bivariate data table from Part I.
Before you begin:
1. Have you considered how you would number your x and y – axis?
2. Have you considered what you would title your x and y – axis?
3. Have you considered what the title of the entire scatter plot would be?
Part IV
Your expectation is to draw the line of best fit on your scatter plot from Part III and answer the following
questions.
a. What type of linear regression is your data?
b. Is this a strong or weak correlation?
c. Predict the:
1 – Number of sold skins for 50 Licensed Farms
2 – Number of sold skins for 85 Licensed Farms
3 – Number of Licensed Farms for 37 sold skins.
4 – Number of Licensed Farms for 82 sold skins.
Part V
Your expectation is to create/solve for the linear function that would represent this line of best fit.
