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 12.3, Problem 15AYU

Concrete As concrete cures, it gains strength. The following data represent the 7-day and 28-day strength (in pounds per square inch) of a certain type of concrete:

7-Day Strength, x	28-Day Strength, y
2300	4070
3390	5220
2430	4640
2890	4620
3330	4850
2480	4120
3380	5020
2660	4890
2620	4190
3340	4630

a. Treating the 7-day strength as the explanatory variable, x, determine the estimates of β₀ and β₁.
b. Compute the standard error of the estimate.
c. Determine s b 1 .
d. Assuming the residuals are normally distributed, test whether a linear relation exists between 7-day strength and 28-day strength at the α = 0.05 level of significance.
e. Assuming the residuals are normally distributed, construct a 95% confidence interval for the slope of the true least-squares regression line.
f. What is the estimated mean 28-day strength of this concrete if the 7-day strength is 3000 psi?

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.
