Answer these open ended questions on your own or with others to form deeper math connections.
Tarea 2
Measure the shoe size and stride length (in inches) of yourself and your classmates. Based on your data, does stride length increase with shoe size? What does your residual plot suggest about the quality of the linear fit?
Tarea 3
Measure the height (in inches) of yourself and your classmates and record the month of birth (January = 1, …, December = 12). Based on your data, does height increase with the month of birth? What does your residual plot suggest about the quality of the linear fit?
