A researcher wants to see if there is a relationship between the height and weight of Great Danes. They collect data from a random sample of Great Danes. In making the scatterplot of height and weight of each dog and analyzing the data, which variable should be used as the explanatory variable and which variable should be used as the response variable? O Weight is explanatory and Height is response O Height is explanatory and Weight is response O Both of the other two options can be used. Each variable could be used as explanatory with the other as the response. O None of the other choices is correct.
Correlation
Correlation defines a relationship between two independent variables. It tells the degree to which variables move in relation to each other. When two sets of data are related to each other, there is a correlation between them.
Linear Correlation
A correlation is used to determine the relationships between numerical and categorical variables. In other words, it is an indicator of how things are connected to one another. The correlation analysis is the study of how variables are related.
Regression Analysis
Regression analysis is a statistical method in which it estimates the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variable. In simple terms dependent variable is called as outcome variable and independent variable is called as predictors. Regression analysis is one of the methods to find the trends in data. The independent variable used in Regression analysis is named Predictor variable. It offers data of an associated dependent variable regarding a particular outcome.
