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 10.1, Problem 18BSC

Testing for a Linear Correlation. In Exercises 13-28, construct a scatterplot, and find the value of the linear correlation coefficient r. Also find the P-value or the critical values of r from Table A-6. Use a significance level of α = 0.05. Determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support a claim of a linear correlation between the two variables. (Save your work because the same data sets will be used in Section 10-2 exercises.)

17. CSI Statistics Police sometimes measure shoe prints at crime scenes so that they can learn something about criminals. Listed below are shoe print lengths, fool lengths, and heights of males (from Data Set 2 “Foot and Height” in Appendix B). Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between shoe print lengths and heights of males? Based on these results, does it appear that police can use a shoe print length to estimate the height of a male?

18. CSI Statistics Use the paired foot length and height data from the preceding exercise. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between foot lengths and heights of males? Based on these results, does it appear that police can use foot length to estimate the height of a male?

You are planning an experiment to determine the effect of the brand of gasoline and the weight of a car on gas mileage measured in miles per gallon. You will use a single test car, adding weights so that its total weight is 3000, 3500, or 4000 pounds. The car will drive on a test track at each weight using each of Amoco, Marathon, and Speedway gasoline. Which is the best way to organize the study? Start with 3000 pounds and Amoco and run the car on the test track. Then do 3500 and 4000 pounds. Change to Marathon and go through the three weights in order. Then change to Speedway and do the three weights in order once more. Start with 3000 pounds and Amoco and run the car on the test track. Then change to Marathon and then to Speedway without changing the weight. Then add weights to get 3500 pounds and go through the three gasolines in the same order.Then change to 4000 pounds and do the three gasolines in order again. Choose a gasoline at random, and run the car with this gasoline at…

AP1.2 A child is 40 inches tall, which places her at the 90th percentile of all children of similar age. The heights for children of this age form an approximately Normal distribution with a mean of 38 inches. Based on this information, what is the standard deviation of the heights of all children of this age? 0.20 inches (c) 0.65 inches (e) 1.56 inches 0.31 inches (d) 1.21 inches
