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

To determine

Discuss the relationship between the distance from hole and percent of putts made for the sample of professional golfers.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 8E

Negative, strong, curved association with no outliers.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

For scatterplot:

Horizontal axis: Distance (ft.)

Vertical axis: Percent made

  PRACTICE OF STATISTICS F/AP EXAM, Chapter 3.1, Problem 8E

Strength: In the scatterplot, the points lie very close together in the pattern and there is no strong deviation of points from this general pattern. Thus, strength will be strong.

Form: In the scatterplot, there appears to be a bit of curvature present. Thus, form will be slightly curved.

Direction: Due to the downward slope of the pattern, the direction will be negative.

Unusual features: In the scatterplot, no points in the other scatterplot points significantly deviate from the general pattern. Thus, no outliers exist.
