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 1.2, Problem 8MP

At a price of $12 .59 per box of grapefruit, the supply is 595 , 000 boxes and the demand is 650 , 000 boxes. At a price of $13 .19 per box, the supply is 695 , 000 boxes and the demand is 590 , 000 boxes. Assume that the relations -ship between price and supply is linear and that the relationship between price and demand is linear.

(A) Find a price–supply equation of the form p = m x + b .

(B) Find a price–demand equation of the form p = m x + b .

The graph of f(x) is given below. Select each true statement about the continuity of f(x) at x = 1. Select all that apply: ☐ f(x) is not continuous at x = 1 because it is not defined at x = 1. ☐ f(x) is not continuous at x = 1 because lim f(x) does not exist. x+1 ☐ f(x) is not continuous at x = 1 because lim f(x) ‡ f(1). x+→1 ☐ f(x) is continuous at x = 1.

2. Consider the following argument: (a) Seabiscuit is a thoroughbred. Seabiscuit is very fast. Every very fast racehorse can win the race. .. Therefore, some thoroughbred racehorse can win the race. Let us define the following predicates, whose domain is racehorses: T(x) x is a thoroughbred F(x) x is very fast R(x) x can win the race : Write the above argument in logical symbols using these predicates. (b) Prove the argument using the rules of inference. Do not make use of conditional proof. (c) Rewrite the proof using full sentences, avoiding logical symbols. It does not need to mention the names of rules of inference, but a fellow CSE 16 student should be able to understand the logical reasoning.
