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.

I = thousands of automatic weapons
y = murders per 100,000 residents
This data can be modeled by the equation y = 0.87x + 3.98. Use this equation to answer the following:
Special Note: I suggest you verify this equation by performing linear regression on your calculator.
A) How many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 6.2 thousand automatic
weapons?
Answer =
Round to 3 decimal places.
B) How many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 2.4 thousand automatic
weapons?
Answer =
Round to 3 decimal places.
