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…

A researcher is conducting a study to examine the relationship between age and agility. She recruited a sample of 50 participants, ranging in age from 20 – 65 years old, and asked them to perform a series of agility tests. Afterward, participants were given an average agility score, which was then used in a correlation analysis against participant age. The results of the study are as follows [r(50) = -0.97, p < 0.001]. Identify the correct interpretation below. A. There is a non-significant, weak, negative correlation between age and agility, suggest that as age increases, agility decreases B. There is a statistically significant, strong, negative correlation between age and agility, suggesting that as age increases, agility decreases C. There is a non-significant, moderate, positive correlation between age and agility, suggesting that there is no relationship between these two variables D. There is a statistically significant, strong positive correlation between age and…

c) Show that the coefficient of determination, R², can also be obtained as the squared correlation between actual Y values and the Y values estimated from the regression model where Y is the dependent variable. Note that the coefficient of correlation between Y and X is Eyixi r = And also that ỹ = ŷ (18.75)
