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.

#### Problem Description
Using the given data set, complete parts (a) through (c) below (α = 0.05).
#### Data Set:
| \(x\) |10| 8 | 13 | 9 | 11 | 14 | 6 | 4 | 12 | 7 | 5 |
|-----|---|---|----|---|----|----|---|---|----|---|---|
| \(y\) |7.46| 6.77 | 7.74 | 7.11 | 7.81 | 8.84 | 6.09 | 5.39 | 8.14 | 6.43 | 5.72 |
### Step b: Find the Linear Correlation Coefficient
#### Linear Correlation Coefficient Calculation:
The linear correlation coefficient \( r \) is computed and found to be:
\[ r = 0.816 \]
*The result is rounded to three decimal places.*
### Interpretation:
Based on the linear correlation coefficient \( r \) obtained, we analyze whether there is sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation between the two variables.
### Graphical Representations:
- **Graph A**: Plots \( x \) against \( y \) (appears nonlinear).
- **Graph B**: Plots \( x \) against \( y \) (appears linear). \\ **This graph is marked as the correct one based on the analysis.**
- **Graph C**: Plots \( x \) against \( y \) (appears negatively correlated and nonlinear).
- **Graph D**: Plots \( x \) against \( y \) (appears parabolic).
### Conclusion Based on Linear Correlation Coefficient:
Using the linear correlation coefficient found in the previous step, determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation between the two variables.
#### Options for Conclusion:
A. There is insufficient evidence to support the claim of a nonlinear correlation between the two variables.
B. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim of a nonlinear correlation between the two variables.
C. There is insufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation between the two variables.
D. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation between the two variables.
#### Correct Answer:
D. There is sufficient evidence](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F86445a01-0a3f-49cc-9d22-b352e3028fb5%2Fe2247637-e87d-4d34-afbc-7a1854d0854b%2Fkg6fqpc_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
