standard_description: Understand that patterns of association can also be seen in bivariate categorical data by displaying frequencies and relative frequencies in a two-way table. Construct and interpret a two-way table summarizing data on two categorical variables collected from the same subjects. Use relative frequencies calculated for rows or columns to describe possible association between the two variables. For example, collect data from students in your class on whether or not they have a curfew on school nights and whether or not they have assigned chores at home. Is there evidence that those who have a curfew also tend to have chores?
problem_activity: Problem 1
The scatterplot below displays the elevation and mean number of clear days per year of  U.S. cities. Two lines are shown on the scatterplot. Which represents the least squares line? Explain your choice.

Problem 2
Below is a scatter plot of foal birth weight and mare’s weight.
[IMG]
The equation of the least squares line for the data is
$${y=-19.6+0.248x}$$
, where
$$x$$
= mare’s weight (in kg) and
$$y$$
= foal’s birth weight (in kg).  What foal birth weight would you predict for a mare that weighs 520 kg?
How would you interpret the value of the slope in the least squares line?
