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…

Chapter 9.3, Problem 21E

Constructing and Interpreting a Prediction Interval In Exercises 21–30, construct the indicated prediction interval and interpret the results.

21. Proceeds Construct a 95% prediction interval for the proceeds from initial public offerings in Exercise 11 when the number of offerings is 450.

11. Stock Offerings The numbers of initial public offerings of stock issued and the total proceeds of these offerings (in millions of dollars) for 12 years are shown in the table. The equation of the regression line is ŷ = 104.965x + 14,093.666. (Source: University of Florida)

Regression and Predictions. Exercises 13–28 use the same data sets as Exercises 13–28 in Section 10-1. In each case, find the regression equation, letting the first variable be the predictor (x) variable. Find the indicated predicted value by following the prediction procedure summarized in Figure 10-5 on page 493. Tips Using the bill/tip data, find the best predicted tip amount for a dinner bill of $100. What tipping rule does the regression equation suggest?

Applying the Concepts and SkillsIn Exercises, we repeat the information from Exercises. For each exercise here, discuss what satisfying Assumptions 1–3 for regression inferences by the variables under consideration would mean.ExercisesApplying the Concepts and SkillsIn each of Exercises,a. find the regression equation for the data points.b. graph the regression equation and the data points.c. describe the apparent relationship between the two variables under consideration.d. interpret the slope of the regression line.e. identify the predictor and response variables.f. identify outliers and potential influential observations.g. predict the values of the response variable for the specified values of the predictor variable, and interpret your results.Tax Efficiency.Tax efficiency is a measure, ranging from 0 to 100, of how much tax due to capital gains stock or mutual funds investors pay on their investments each year; the higher the tax efficiency, the lower is the tax. In the article…

Peoples of the Democratic Republic of the Congo In spite of the devastation of the Great African War (1995 – 2007, analyzed in learning activity four of this unit) that caused the death of an estimated seven million Congolese, the DRC remains the fourth most populated country in Africa with a population of 79.4 million (2015), following Nigeria, Ethiopia and Egypt. The DRC’s population is currently growing at 2.7 percent annually. Not unlike most African countries, the population of the DRC is heavily skewed to youth: 44% of the national population is under 24 years of age! Compare this to 32% of the population for the same age group in the U.S. and 24% in Japan. This demographic reality makes great demands on the government and economy of the DRC in terms of providing schooling (and other social services) and opportunities for employment in an economy decimated by war, mismanagement, and the on-going legacy of the exploitation of the DRC’s natural resources by international…
