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…

Estimating r For each of the following, estimate the value of the linear correlation coefficient r for the given paired data obtained from 50 randomly selected adults.

a. Their heights are measured in inches (x) and those same heights are recorded in centimeters (y).

b. Their IQ scores (x) are measured and their heights (y) are measured in centimeters.

c. Their pulse rates (x) are measured and their IQ scores are measured (y).

d. Their heights (x) are measured in centimeters and those same heights are listed again, but with negative signs (y) preceding each of these second listings.
