Types of Associations (NC Math 1)

Описание: Standard(s): NC.SP.1 and NC M1.S.ID.6

🔍 What you’ll learn in this video :
In this lesson, we explore different types of associations often found in data — which is a key concept in the NC Math 1 course. You’ll learn how to:

Identify positive, negative, and no correlation relationships between two variables

Recognize linear versus non-linear associations

Interpret scatter plots and determine the type of relationship being shown

Understand why recognizing the type of association matters when analyzing data

📘 Why this matters:
Whether you’re tackling homework, prepping for a quiz, or building your math foundation, knowing how to spot and interpret associations will help you solve problems more confidently. This isn’t just about graphs — it’s about making sense of real-world data in a way that’s clear and meaningful.

💡 Tip for best results:
Watch the video with a pencil and paper handy. Pause when needed, try sketching your own scatter plots, and ask yourself: “Does this look like a positive or negative trend? Is it roughly linear or curving?” Practice makes perfect.
