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…

Textbook Question

Chapter 4, Problem 14CS

If we are going to use data from this year to predict unemployment next year, why not use this year’s unemployment to predict next year’s unemployment? A model like this, in which previous values of a variable are used to predict fixture values of the same variable, is called an autoregressive model. The following table presents the data needed to fit this model.

Chapter 4, Problem 14CS, If we are going to use data from this year to predict unemployment next year, why not use this years , example 3

Which of the three models do you think provides the best prediction of unemployment; the one using inflation in the same year, the one using inflation in the previous year, or the one using unemployment in the previous year? Explain.

explain the importance of the Hypothesis test in a business setting, and give an example of a situation where it is helpful in business decision making.

A college wants to estimate what students typically spend on textbooks. A report fromthe college bookstore observes that textbooks range in price from $22 to $186. Toobtain a 95% confidence level for a confidence interval estimate to plus or minus $10,how many students should the college survey? (We may estimate the populationstandard deviation as (range) ÷ 4.)

In a study of how students give directions, forty volunteers were given the task ofexplaining to another person how to reach a destination. Researchers measured thefollowing five aspects of the subjects’ direction-giving behavior:• whether a map was available or if directions were given from memory without a map,• the gender of the direction-giver,• the distances given as part of the directions,• the number of times directions such as “north” or “left” were used,• the frequency of errors in directions. Identify each of the variables in this study, and whether each is quantitative orqualitative. For each quantitative variable, state whether it is discrete or continuous. Was this an observational study or an experimental study? Explain your answer.
