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 p…

Textbook Question

Chapter 10, Problem 59PS

How do private universities and public colleges Compare with respect to debt at graduation incurred by Students? The file CollegeDebt contains the average debt at graduation incurred by students for 100 private universities and 100 public colleges, as reported by Kiplinger. Source: Data extracted from â€œKiplingerâ€™s Best College Values, â€œavailable at bit.ly/1z39qsT.

a. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there a difference in the variance of graduation debt incurred by students for private universities and public colleges?

b. Using the results of (a), which t test is appropriate for comparing mean debt at graduation incurred by students at private universities and public colleges.

c. At the 0.05 level of significance, conduct the test selected in (b).

d. Write a short summary of your findings.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
