What Will We Do When the Well Runs Dry?
Definitions and Examples.
Metric conversions - Converting between
the various different sizes by moving the decimal point the correct number of places. Examples.
Metric conversions squared - When converting units that are squared, the number of moves needs to be doubled. Examples.
Metric conversions cubed - When converting units that are cubed, the number of moves needs to be tripled. Examples.
Prism - A three-dimensional figure determined by two congruent polygons in parallel planes whose corresponding vertices are connected by segments. Examples.
Bases - The two congruent and parallel faces of the prism.
Lateral faces - The parallelograms formed by joining the corresponding vertices of the bases. Examples.
Examples of prisms, bases, and lateral faces.
Height - A prism's height is the perpendicular distance between the bases.
Volume - The amount of space occupied by an object. Volume is measured in units such as cubic centimeters or liters. The volume of a prism may be found by multiplying the area of the polygonal base (B) by the height (h): V=Bh. Examples of prisms and finding their volume. More examples for finding volume.
Rate - Compares the change in one quantity to the change in another quantity.
Scatter plot - A graph that relates data from two different sets. Examples. Examples with your graphing calculator.
Line of best fit - A line on a scatter plot which can be drawn near the points to more clearly show the trend between two sets of data. Examples. Examples with your graphing calculator.
Examples of scatter plot and line of best fit.
Practice finding a line of best fit.
Activity 2 Problem.
Linear regression - An attempt to model the relationship between two variables by fitting a linear equation to observed data. One variable is considered as the independent variable, and the other is considered as the dependent variable.
Examples of scatter plots and linear regression.
Correlation - A relationship between events. Examples.
Pearson correlation coefficient - The measures of the strength of the linear relationship between two variables. Examples. More examples.
Absolute value - The measure of a distance. Examples.
Residual - The difference between the y-coordinate of a data point and the corresponding y-value of a line of best fit. The observed value minus the predicted value. Examples.
