Concept explainers

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 3, Problem 3.12E

The following table shows sex, height (inches), and mid parent height (inches) for a sample of 18 college students. The variable mid-parent height is the average of mother’s height and father’s height. (These data are in the dataset

UCDchap3 on the companion website; they are sampled from the larger dataset UCDavis2

Chapter 3, Problem 3.12E, The following table shows sex, height (inches), and mid parent height (inches) for a sample of 18

  1. In the relationship between height and mid-parent height, which variable is the response variable (y) and which is the explanatory variable (x)?
  2. Draw a scatter plot of the data for the y and x variables defined in part (a). Use different symbols for males and females.
  3. Briefly interpret the scatter plot. Does the association appear to be linear? That are the differences between the males and females? Which points, ii any, are outliers?
  4. Calculate the difference between height and mid-parent height for each student, and draw a scatter plot of y difference versus x mid-parent height. Use different symbols for males and females. What does this graph reveal about the connection between height and mid- parent height?
