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 1.4, Problem 36E

Fiber-Optic Connections at the Turn of the Century The following table shows the number of fiber-optic cable connections to homes in the United States from 2000 to 2004 ( t = 0 represents2000):76

Year t 0 1 2 3 4
Connections c (thousands) 0 10 25 65 150

a. Use technology to obtain the linear regression line and correlation coefficient r, with all coefficients rounded to two decimal places, and plot the regression line and the given points.

b. Does the graph suggest that a nonlinear relationship between t and c would be more appropriate than a linear one? Why or why not?

c. Use technology to obtain the residuals. What can you say about the residuals in support of the claim in part (b)?
