Introduction

In this section you will analyze data sets with two quantitative variables. The goal will be to describe the relationship between the variables. As always, you will start by learning some useful numerical and graphical techniques for summarizing the data. Then you will explore how to use a mathematical model of the relationship to make predictions of one variable from the other. In the next section you will then move on to inferential techniques based on simulated sampling and randomization distributions as well as a mathematical model.
