Topics:
1. Plotting Two variables: Don't use Line Chart, Use Scatter Chart
2. Plotting the point on the chart that graphs the relationship between two variables: Move along x axis a given amount and then along the y axis a certain amount.
3. Independent, Predictor Variable = x
4. Dependent, Predicted Variable = y
5. Scatter Diagram with proper x and y axis labels to see if there is a relationship between two variables.
6. Direct, Positive Relationship: As x increases, y increases
7. Indirect, Negative Relationship: As x increases, y decreases
8. No relationship: no pattern can be seen
9. Add Trendline with linear equation and coefficient of determination (goodness of fit: of the total variation, how much can model explain?)
