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 9.4, Problem 1E

Predicting y-Values In Exercises 1−4, use the multiple regression equation to predict the y-values for the values of the independent variables.

1. Cauliflower Yield The equation used to predict the annual cauliflower yield (in pounds per acre) is

ŷ = 24,791 + 4.508x₁ − 4.723x₂

where x₁ is the number of acres planted and x₂ is the number of acres harvested.

(a) x₁ = 36,500, x₂ = 36,100

(b) x₁ = 38,100, x₂ = 37,800

(d) x₁ = 42,200, x₂ = 42.100
