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…

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)

The table gives the average heights of children for ages 1 – 10, where x = the age (in years) and y = the height (in cm). Part a: Make a scatter plot and determine which type of model best fits the data.Part b: Find the regression equation.Part c: Can your equation be used to find the average height of a 20 year old? Explain.

Basketball regression line prediction: Suppose the equation for the regression line for the number of games won in a season, y, is given by: y = 106 -0.043x where x is number of turnovers by the team in a season. For a team with 1176 turnovers in a season, find the expected number of wins in a season. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
