Linear Regression
Exploring and analysing the existence of a linear dependency between two numerical variables, from a graphic point of view (dispersion diagram) and an analytical point of view (adjusting the pertinent linear regression model, or regression line).
Investigating the existence of linear regression models between pairs of numerical variables in real everyday contexts associated with different areas of knowledge.
