<h4>Activity (20 Minutes)</h4>
<h4>Launch</h4>
<p>Arrange students in pairs or groups, if necessary, so they have access to Desmos. If possible, allow students to work individually so that each understands the steps necessary to find the correlation coefficient of a data set.</p>
<p>After students open a window to Desmos, instruct them to click into each cell in the table and insert each corresponding value in the data set. Once a student has clicked into the first cell in the table, they may also use the arrow keys to navigate from one cell to the next. </p>
<p>Instructions are provided if they wish to copy and paste the entire table, but emphasize that unless the values are copied from a spreadsheet, they will not be pasted together into the table.</p>
<p>Show students that the graphing window, or field of view, may be changed by clicking onto the graph and dragging it in different directions.</p>
<br>
<h4>Student Activity</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>Use the following data to answer questions 1 - 5.</p>

<li> Use the Desmos graphing tool below to create a table for entering this data. Click on the “\(+\)” symbol and select the table from the drop-down menu.</li>

<p><strong>Answer:</strong> Your answers may vary</p>

<li> Enter the data into the corresponding \(x_1\) and \(y_1\) columns in the table you created in Question 1. Press Enter or use arrow keys to enter a new data value in the table.<br>
<br>
After you have finished entering all of the data in Desmos, click on the magnifying glass (located to the left of the table). This will adjust the graphing window so the points in the scatter plot are visible.</li>
</ol>
<ol class="os-raise-noindent" start="3">
<li>Click in the entry box #2 below the table from Question 1 and enter the command \(corr(x_1,y_1)\). (You can just type \(x_1\) and \(y_1\). The subscripts will appear automatically.)</li>

<ol class="os-raise-noindent" start="4">
<li> A number between -1 and 1 will appear after an equal sign in the bottom right-hand corner of the same box. What is the number rounded to the thousandths place? </li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Answer:</strong> -0.948</p>
<ol class="os-raise-noindent" start="5">
<li> What does this number tell you about the strength of the linear relationship? </li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Answer:</strong> These data have a strong negative linear relationship. This means that as the \(x\)-values increase, the \(y\)-values decrease.</p>
<br>
<h4>Activity Synthesis</h4>
<p>If students are having difficulty finding the correlation coefficient using technology, tell them to use the corr\((x_1, y_1\)) command in Desmos. It may also be helpful to check the accuracy of the data entered into the \(x_1\) and \(y_1\)columns.</p>
<p>Tell students, in this lesson, we will find the correlation coefficient of a data set using technology. We will then use the correlation coefficient to understand the strength of a linear relationship.</p>

Check yourself: Enter the \(x\) values in list one and \(y\) values in list two and use technology to find the correlation coefficient.</td>

<td>\( r = 0.975 \)</td>
<td>Incorrect. Let’s try again a different way: This is the value of \(r^2\). Take the square root to find \(r\). The answer is \( r= -0.987 \). </td>

<p><strong>Step 1</strong> - Use the Desmos graphing tool below to create a table for entering this data. Click on the “+” symbol and select the table from the drop-down menu.</p>
<br>
<div class="os-raise-ib-desmos-gc" data-schema-version="1.0"></div>
<br>
<p><strong>Step 2</strong> - Enter the data into the corresponding x1 and y1 columns in the table you created in Step 1. Press Enter or use arrow keys to enter a new data value in the table.</p>
<p>After you have finished entering all of the data in Desmos, click on the magnifying glass (located to the left of the table). This will adjust the graphing window so the points in the scatter plot are visible.</p>
<p>You should have created the following table and scatter plot:</p>

<br>
<br>
<p><strong>Step 3</strong> - Click in the entry box #2 below the table from Step 1 and enter the command corr\((x_1,y_1)\). (You can just type x1 and y1. The subscripts will appear automatically.)</p>
<p>As soon as you enter the correlation command, Desmos will display the correlation coefficient after an equal sign in the bottom right corner of the same box.</p>

<br>
<br>
<p><strong>Step 4 </strong>- Round to the nearest thousandth. The correlation coefficient is -0.299.</p>
<p><strong>Step 5 </strong>- Determine the strength of the linear relationship. This correlation coefficient shows a weak negative linear relationship.</p>
