standard_description: Know that straight lines are widely used to model relationships between two quantitative variables. For scatter plots that suggest a linear association, informally fit a straight line, and informally assess the model fit by judging the closeness of the data points to the line.
problem_activity: A random group of 6th and 8th grade students at a school are asked the question: Do you prefer to complete your homework on a computer or on paper?
Of the 56 sixth graders, 18 answered computer and 38 answered paper.
Of the 60 eighth graders, 52 answered computer and 8 answered paper.
a.   Create a two-way table to represent the data. Label your rows as 6th graders and 8th graders.
b.   What is the proportion, of all of the students, who are in 8th grade and prefer to complete their homework on a computer?
c.   Of the students who prefer to complete their homework on paper, what proportion are in 6th grade?
