In lesson 11 of module 6, the focus is on using linear models in a data context. The lesson begins with a recap of lesson 10, covering dependent and independent variables and the meaning of the slope. The first example involves predicting the amount of water from Old Faithful's eruptions using linear models. The second example analyzes Olympic 100-meter race times to identify trends and make predictions. The lesson concludes with a summary and guidance for the next lesson.
