Outcomes

3.1.3.7

use the equation of a fitted line to make predictions

3.1.3.8

distinguish between interpolation and extrapolation when using the fitted line to make predictions, recognising the potential dangers of extrapolation

3.1.4.2

identify and communicate possible non-causal explanations for an association, including coincidence and confounding due to a common response to another variable
