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 12.6, Problem 64E

The group should select two variables related to people on your campus that it believes have a strong positive or negative correlation. Once these variables have been determined,

a. Collect at least 30 ordered pairs of data (x. y) from a sample of people on your campus,

b. Draw a scatter plot for the data collected.

c. Does the scatter plot indicate a positive correlation, a negative correlation, or no relationship between the variables?

d. Calculate r. Does the value of r reinforce the impression conveyed by the scatter plot?

e. Find the equation of the regression line.

f. Use the regression line's equation to make a prediction about a y-value given an x-value.

g. Are the results of this project consistent with the group's original belief about the correlation between the variables, or are there some surprises in the data collected?
