Data that continuously happens
Continuous Data
You can usually tell that your data is continuous if you are ______ something (ie. time, distance, length, height, etc.)
measuring
If your data is continuous then you will _____ the points on your graph
connect
Data that is counting or measuring in whole numbers (ie. number of people, cars, or stories of a building)
Discrete Data
If your data is discrete then you will _____ the points on your graph
not connect
It is the relationship that exists between two variables (independent and dependent)
Correlation
As one variable increases, so does the other
Positive Correlation
As one variable increases, the other decreases
Negative Correlation
As one variable increases, you cannot tell what the other is doing
No Correlation
