Data Analysis

Data analysis is a great tool dealing with statistics and probability. It can help us better understand the world that we live in. For example, since we know when the temperature changes drastically the probability of having a tornado goes up we can better inform people of dangers that are coming.
In lab 9, I learned all about data analysis and linear regression. Linear regression allows one to plot a best fit line showing trends in data. This enables people to understand the specific data being analyzed.
