4. Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box
plots.
6.SP
5c. Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such as by giving quantitative
measures of center (median and/or mean) and variability (interquartile range and/or mean
absolute deviation), as well as describing any overall pattern and any striking deviations from
the overall pattern with reference to the context in which the data were gathered.
8.SP
1. Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of
association between two quantities. Describe patterns such as clustering, outliers, positive or
negative association, linear association, and nonlinear association.
8.SP
2. Know that straight lines are widely used to model relationships between two quantitative
variables. For scatter plots that suggest a linear association, informally fit a straight line, and
informally assess the model fit by judging the closeness of the data points to the line.
8.SP
3. Use the equation of a linear model to solve problems in the context of bivariate measurement
data, interpreting the slope and intercept.
8.SP
4. Understand that patterns of association can also be seen in bivariate categorical data by
displaying frequencies and relative frequencies in a two-way table. Construct and interpret a
two-way table summarizing data on two categorical variables collected from the same subjects.

Presidential Inquiry
Inquiring minds may ask . . .
Do US Presidents with the most children live longer
after they have been inaugurated?
In this activity, you will use the US President Data and the notion of correlation of bivariate data to
determine if a relationship exists between the age of Presidents number of children and their longevity after
inauguration. Recall that data variables can have strong correlation, weak correlation, or no correlation.
Before the data can be analyzed, you must first determine which data to use and what you need to do with
the data in order to begin answering the question. The questions below will get you thinking on the right
track.
1.
2.
Make a scatterplot and label your axes. Recall that the dependent variable goes on the y-axis and the
independent variable goes on the x-axis.
3.
Analyze your scatterplot. Are the points clustered together? Are they scattered out, showing no definite trend?
Determine the correlation (weak, strong, or none).
