Using the high-low method, what is the variable cost of sterilizing an instrument using the new equipment? (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 52.75.)
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.

![After graduating from dental school two years ago, Dr. Lauren Farish purchased the dental practice of a long-time dentist who
was retiring. In January of this year, she had to replace the outdated autoclave equipment she inherited from the previous
dentist. Now, as she is preparing her budget for next year, she is concerned about understanding how her cost for sterilizing her
dental instruments has changed. She has gathered the following information from her records:
Month
Number of instruments used
Total autoclave cost
January

$7,600
February
