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.

True or False: Explain Suppose that OLS is unbiased for the following bivariate model: Y = B0 +B1X +u and suppose that the true slope coefficient B1 = 7. If you use the standard t-statistic to test the null hypothesis that the slope coefficient is equal to 0, the probability that you will reject the null hypothesis will increase if you reduce your sample size.

Noise pollution is measured in decibels. In California any motorcycle made after 1980 may not be any louder than 80 decibels. Harley Davidson claims their mean decibel rating on bikes is 70 with a variance of 10. The variance of the noise is questioned. Just because Harley has a mean that is less than 80, they could still be producing louder than acceptable bikes. The federal EPA conducts a sample of 30 bikes and determines the variance to be 20 decibels. Is there enough evidence to question Harley’s claim of 10 decibels?
Suppose we have two SRSS from two distinct populations and the samples are independent. We measure the same variable for both samples. Suppose both populations of the values of these variables are normally distributed but the means and standard deviations are unknown. For purposes of comparing the two means, we use (a) Two-sample t procedures (b) Matched pairs t procedures (c) z procedures (d) The least-squares regression line (e) None of the above. The answer is

Records from previous years for a casualty insurance company show that its clients average a combined total of 1.9 auto accidents per day, with a variance of 0.31. The actuaries of the company claim that the current variance, oʻ, of the number of accidents per day is not equal to 0.31. A random sample of 17 recent days had a mean of 2 accidents per day with a variance of 0.62. If we assume that the number of accidents per day is approximately normally distributed, is there sufficient evidence to conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the actuaries are correct?

A light bulb manufacturer wants to compare the mean lifetimes of two of its light bulbs, model A and model B. Independent random samples of the two models were taken. Analysis of 10 bulbs of model A showed a mean lifetime of 1347 hours and a standard deviation of 92 hours. Analysis of 13 bulbs of model B showed a mean lifetime of 1380 hours and a standard deviation of 111 hours. Assume that the populations of lifetimes for each model are normally distributed and that the variances of these populations are equal. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference −μ1μ2 between the mean lifetime μ1 of model A bulbs and the mean lifetime μ2 of model B bulbs. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your responses to at least two decimal places. Upper Limit Lower Limit:
The variability in the amounts of impurities present in a batch of chemical used for a particular process depends on the length of time the process is in operation. A manufacturer using two production lines, 1 and 2, has made a slight adjustment to line 2, hoping to reduce the variability as well as the average amount of impurities in the chemical. Samples of 25 and 25 measurements from the two batches yield 1.04, respectively 0.51 variances. Do the data present sufficient evidence to indicate that the process variability is less for line 2? Use 5% significance level. Conduct a hypothesis test of the airline executive’s belief. [α = 0.05]

One study claims that the variance in the resting heart rates of smokers is different than the variance in the resting heart rates of nonsmokers. A medical student decides to test this claim. The sample variance of resting heart rates, measured in beats per minute, for a random sample of 9 smokers is 480.7. The sample variance for a random sample of 9 nonsmokers is 131.6. Assume that both population distributions are approximately normal and test the study’s claim using a 0.10 level of significance. Does the evidence support the study’s claim? Let smokers be Population 1 and let nonsmokers be Population 2. Step 1 of 3: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below.
