Assume we look at only 0.001% of this microbiome. (a) How many microorganisms are we studying? (b) Assume we study each microbe for 1 minute. Could we study this portion of the microbiome in a lifetime? (c) What percent of the gut microobiome could someone study if they work non-stop for 80 years, 1 minute per microbe?
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.
![### Microorganism Analysis in the Human Gut
#### Background
The human gut hosts approximately 3.8 x 10¹³ microorganisms. Nearly all of these microbes interact with each other. Let's examine a small fraction of these interactions.
#### Analysis
2. Assume we examine only 0.001% of this microbiome.
(a) **How many microorganisms are we studying?**
- To find the number of microorganisms being studied, calculate 0.001% of 3.8 x 10¹³.
(b) **Assume we study each microbe for 1 minute. Could we study this portion of the microbiome in a lifetime?**
- Determine the total time required to study this fraction and compare it to a human lifetime.
(c) **What percent of the gut microbiome could someone study if they work non-stop for 80 years, 1 minute per microbe?**
- Calculate the total number of microbes that could be studied in 80 years and find the percentage relative to the entire microbiome.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F9f388451-d456-4652-b142-664b53682810%2F9a826b08-a0cb-448a-b5b1-fa6d5699cbe9%2F0af74n8_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
