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…

Chapter 1.3, Problem 5MP

Figure 5 shows the scatter plot for white spruce trees in the Jack Haggerty Forest at Lakehead University in Canada. A regression model produced by a spreadsheet (Fig. 5), after rounding, is

h   =   1.8 d   +   34

where d is Dbh in inches and h is the height in feet.

Chapter 1.3, Problem 5MP, Figure 5 shows the scatter plot for white spruce trees in the Jack Haggerty Forest at Lakehead

(A) Interpret the slope of this model.

(B) What is the effect of a 1-inch increase in Dbh?

(C) Estimate the height of a white spruce with a Dbh of 10 inches. Round your answer to the nearest

foot.

(D) Estimate the Dbh of a white spruce that is 65 feet tall. Round your answer to the nearest inch.

A grocery store is interested in how customers' income affects the amount of money they spend each week. A regression analysis is performed to test this analysis. The results of the analysis are that the intercept is $17.80 and the slope is 0.0012. The residual of one customer's weekly spending was $54.12. Is this household an example of over or under prediction and expenditures inverse or direct and is the relationship between income under-prediction, inverse under-prediction, direct over-prediction, direct over-prediction, inverse evidence of diet equity for this grocery store's customers
Using the weights (lb) and highway fuel consumption amounts (mi/gal) of the 48 cars listed in the accompanying data set, one gets this regression equation: y = 58.9-0.00749x, where x represents weight. Complete parts (a) through (d). Click the icon to view the car data. The site to your captio V.UVITU. D. The slope is -0.00749 and the y-intercept is 58.9. c. What is the predictor variable? ... OA. The predictor variable is highway fuel consumption, which is represented by x. OB. The predictor variable is highway fuel consumption, which is represented by y. C. The predictor variable is weight, which is represented by x. OD. The predictor variable is weight, which is represented by y. d. Assuming that there is a significant linear correlation between weight and highway fuel consumption, what is the best predicted value for a car that weighs 2994 lb? The best predicted value of highway fuel consumption of a car that weighs 2994 lb is (Round to one decimal place as needed.) mi/gal.
The U.S. Postal Service is attempting to reduce the number of complaints made by the public against its workers. To facilitate this task, a staff analyst for the service regresses the number of complaints lodged against an employee last year on the hourly wage of the employee for the year.  The analyst ran a simple linear regression in SPSS.  The results are shown below.   What proportion of variation in the number of complaints can be explained by hourly wages? From the results shown above, write the regression equation If wages were increased by $1.00, what is the expected effect on the number of complaints received per employee?
