Here is a bivariate data set. x y 83.2 6.1 38.4 58.5 48.8 50.5 80 43.1 61.8 33.3 65.2 33.5 Find the correlation coefficient and report it accurate to three decimal places. r = What proportion of the variation in y can be explained by the variation in the values of x? Report answer as a percentage accurate to one decimal place. R² = %
Inverse Normal Distribution
The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of two parameters.
Mean, Median, Mode
It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency or measure of central tendency is a central or typical value for a probability distribution.
Z-Scores
A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow comparison between two scores that belong to different normal distributions.
