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 9.2, Problem 22E

Finding the Equation of a Regression Line In Exercises 17–26, find the equation of the regression line for the data. Then construct a scatter plot of the data and draw the regression line. (Each pair of variables has a significant correlation.) Then use the regression equation to predict the value of y for each of the x-values, if meaningful. If the x-value is not meaningful to predict the value of y, explain why not. If convenient, use technology.
