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…

Finding the Coefficient of Determination and the Standard Error of Estimate In Exercises 11–20, use the data to (a) find the coefficient of determination r and interpret the result, and (b) find the standard error of estimate s_e, and interpret the result.

15. STEM Employment and Mean Wage The table shows the percentage of employment in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) occupations and mean annual wage (in thousands of dollars) for 16 industries. The equation of the regression line is ŷ = 1.153x + 46.374. (Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics)
