PRESENTATION OUTLINE

SCATTER PLOT PROJECT

ASHLEY BRANGERS, CALLIE FREEMAN, JANE HARRIS

"Students at The Ohio State University conducted an experiment in the fall of 1993 to determine if there is a relationship between heart rate before stepping and after stepping. Each subject preformed the activity for three minutes. Subjects were kept on pace by the beat of an electric metronome. One experimenter counted the subject's pulse for 20 seconds before and after each trial."

We were required to make a scatter plot of the data previously shown, title our graph, and label the axes.

Next we drew a line of best fit and found the equation, which is:
y=4/3x-4

Untitled Slide


We found the stepping heart rates that our equation predicted from the given resting heart rates;
a. 50 bpm
b. 80 bpm
c. 100 bpm


Those stepping rates are;
a. 63 for the 50 bpm
b. 103 for the 80 bpm
c. 129 for the 100 bpm

We also found the linear regression line for the data by using our calculators.

The equation of that line is:
y=1.93x-41.05

Untitled Slide


Next we found stepping rates using this equation and data from an earlier question. They are;
a. 55 for the 50 bpm
b. 113 for the 80 bpm
c. 152 for the 100 bpm

We were asked to discuss the reasonableness between the line that we graphed versus the line found on the calculator.

The line found on the calculator is going to be more reasonable than the one found by hand. When figuring out a math problem, the line from the calculator will give more accurate answers than the other. Also, when calculating equations with difficult graphs, then the answer might not always be 100% correct 100% of the time...so the line from the calculator will mostly always be more reasonable and accurate.

SPECIAL THANKS TO THE TI-84 CALCULATORS,

WE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU.
