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…

To determine

To make: a scatterplot and explain why the correlation is zero

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 26E

Relation between them is not linear, it is curved. That’s why correlation between them is 0.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

    Speed2030405060
    Mileage2428302824

Calculation:

The scatter plot of the given data is shown in below.

  The Practice of Statistics for AP - 4th Edition, Chapter 3.1, Problem 26E

From the above scatter plot we see the relationship is curved indicated strength of the linear relationship. Values of r near 0 indicate a very week linear relationship it does not mean they are not related. In this case speed and mileage are strongly related but relation between them is not linear, it is curved. That’s why correlation between them is 0.
