Concept explainers

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…

The percentage of adults in the labor force ages 65 or older who are still working has risen since 1990. The table below shows the data from 1990 to 2007, Let x represent the number of years since 1990 a. Plot the data points. b. Find the linear regression equation of the line of best fit for the data. c. What does the slope of this line indicate in this situation? d. If the percentage continues to increase at the same rate, predict the percent of the labor force that is 65 years old or older in the year 2027.

Data from 147 colleges from 1995 to 2005 (Lee,2008) were tested to predict the endowments (in billions) to a college from the average SAT score of students attending the college. The resulting regression equation was Y = -20.46 + 4.06 (X). This regression indicates that: a. for every one-point increase in SAT scores, a college can expect 4.06 billion more in endowments. b. most colleges have very high endowments. c. for every one-point increase in SAT scores, a college can expect 20.46 billion fewer in endowments. d. for every one-dollar increase in endowments, the college can expect a half-point increase in SAT scores.

The coefficient of determination for the linear regression model is 0.8636. This shows that there is a the "Number of Patients" and "Year." relationship between
