Mathematical Modeling
Mathematical modeling is the process of using mathematics to solve real-
world problems. This process can be broken down into three steps:
1. Construct the mathematical model, a problem whose solution will provide information about the real-world problem. (We will do this on our calculator using regression analysis.)
2. Solve the mathematical model.3. Interpret the solution to the mathematical model in terms
of the original real-world problem.

Interpreting the Scatterplot
Form: the function that best describes the relationship between the 2 variables. (Some possible forms would be linear, quadratic, cubic, exponential, or logarithmic.)
To interpret the scatterplot, identify these following 4 things:
Outlier(s): any values that do not follow the general pattern of the data; stray points.)

Interpreting the ScatterplotDirection: a positive or negative direction can be found when looking at linear regression lines only. The direction is found by looking at the sign of the slope. Which of the following has a positive correlation? … negative?
Strength: how closely the points in the data are gathered around the form. Which has a strong correlation? …weak?

Divide Data into 3 Groups
If the data is evenly divided by 3, each group will have the same number of points.
If the data has an extra point after division, the middle section gets the extra point.
If the data falls one short of a perfect 3, the middle set will have one less than the others.
