Answer
The director of surgery at a local hospital is interested in understanding his unit’s costs. An assistant collected data for the past 36 months on unit cost (labor, supplies, and so on) along with the number of procedures performed in the unit. The assistant analyzed the data using a spreadsheet program, and the following output was generated. Equation Intercept $ 1,006,000 Coefficient on procedures $ 230 Statistical data Correlation coefficient 0.518 R2 0.268 The unit is planning to perform an average 18,5000 procedures per month for the coming year. Required A: Use the regression output to write the surgical unit cost equation. Surgical unit cost = ____________ + __________ x Procedures Required B: Based on the cost equation,…
. Differentiate between correlation vs. causation. When two variables are correlated (such as strength and running speed), they are associated with one another. Explain how, even if there is a correlation between the two, one might not cause the other. Provide an example of an association between variables where a causal relationship makes sense conceptually. Why can't correlations be used as a tool to prove a causal relationship between variables rather than just an association?
