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…

Making Satterplots. Consider the following data sets.

a. Make a scatterplot for the data.

b. State whether the two variables appear to be correlated, and if so, state whether the correlation is positive, negative, strong, or weak

c. Suggest a reason for the correlation or lack of correlation. If you suspect causality, discuss what further evidence you need to establish it.
