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…

College students' physical, emotional, and mental health are at the forefront of many national discussions and statistical studies. Many factors can influence students' overall health, including diet, sleep, exercise, social media usage, etc. In this project, you will look at real data gathered from 30 college students and determine related descriptive and inferential statistics. Please use MS Excel (see attached file) to collect your data and complete the assignment. The students surveyed were asked the following questions: On a typical weekday, Are you an on-campus student or a commuter? How many hours of sleep do you get? How many hours do you study? How many calories do you intake? How many hours do you exercise? How many hours do you spend on social media? How many hours do you spend with your friends and family…
