Seven North American Green Frogs (Rana clamitans) had their jumping distance recorded (in mm) multiple times in a laboratory. The mean jumping distance for these frogs along with their length (measured from snout to vent in miMillimeters) are presented in the table below. Length of Frog 52 68 37 65 77 81 59 Mean Jumping Distance 546 673 415 659 793 814 563 (a) Determine the linear regression model that will best predit the mean jumping distance of a North American Green Frog based on the frog's length. (b) How well does the linear regression model fit this sample data? (c) Use the linear regression model to predict the mean jumping distance of a North American Green Frog that is 48 mm in length.
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.

| Length of Frog | 52 | 68 | 37 | 65 | 77 | 81 | 59 |
| Mean Jumping Distance | 546 | 673 | 415 | 659 | 793 | 814 | 563 |
(a) Determine the linear regression model that will best predit the mean jumping distance of a North American Green Frog based on the frog's length.
(b) How well does the linear regression model fit this sample data?
(c) Use the linear regression model to predict the mean jumping distance of a North American Green Frog that is 48 mm in length.
