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.
![The production department of Celltronics International wants to explore the relationship between the number of employees who assemble a subassembly and the number produced. As an experiment, two employees were assigned to assemble the subassemblies. They produced 15 during a one-hour period. Then four employees assembled them. They produced 25 during a one-hour period. The complete set of paired observations follows:
| Number of Assemblers | One-Hour Production (units) |
|----------------------|-----------------------------|
| 2 | 15 |
| 4 | 25 |
| 1 | 10 |
| 5 | 40 |
| 3 | 30 |
The dependent variable is production; that is, it is assumed that different levels of production result from a different number of employees.
[Click here for the Excel Data File]
a. Draw a scatter diagram.
1. On the graph below, use the point tool to plot the point corresponding to the first Number of Assemblers and her Production (No of Assemblers1).
2. Repeat the process for the remainder of the sample (No of Assemblers2, No of Assemblers3, ... ).
3. To enter exact coordinates, double-click on the point and enter the exact coordinates of x and y.
**Graph Explanation**:
The graph consists of a vertical axis labeled "Production" ranging from 0 to 50 and a grid with no marked data points. There are placeholder points labeled from "No of Assemblers1" to "No of Assemblers4" on the right, intended for plotting based on the table's data. Instructions indicate plotting each assembler's data point against production to form a scatter plot.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fe1d17f5d-0c9d-4d20-b4d8-205cdade0cbf%2F104a8784-9658-45d1-85bd-03b5795d2b59%2F1043tir_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
![**b. Based on the scatter diagram, does there appear to be any relationship between the number of assemblers and production?**
Yes, as the number of assemblers increases, so does the production.
**c. Compute the coefficient correlation.** *(Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round \(s_x\), \(s_y\), and \(r\) to 3 decimal places.)*
