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 12.5, Problem 12.35LM

Suppose the true relationship between E(y) and the quantitative independent variables x₁ and x₂ is

E(y) = 3 + x₁ + 2x₂ − x₁x₂

a. Describe the corresponding three-dimensional response surface.
b. Plot the linear relationship between y and x₂ for x₁ = 0, 1, 2, where 0 ≤ x₂ ≤ 5.
c. Explain why the lines you plotted in part b are not parallel.
d. Use the lines you plotted in part b to explain how changes in the settings of x₁ and x₂ affect E(y).
e. Use your graph from part b to determine how much E(y) changes when x₁ is changed from 2 to 0 and x₂ is simultaneously changed from 4 to 5.

Let x = day of observation and y = number of locusts per square meter during a locust infestation in a region of North Africa. x 2 3 5 8 10 y 2 3 12 125 630 (a) Draw a scatter diagram of the (x, y) data pairs. Do you think a straight line will be a good fit to these data? Do the y values almost seem to explode as time goes on? No. A straight line does not fit the data well. The data seem to explode as x increases.Yes. A straight line does not fit the data well. The data seem to explode as x increases. No. A straight line does not fit the data well. The data does not seem to explode as x increases.Yes. A straight line seems to fit the data well. The data seem to explode as x increases. (b) Now consider a transformation y' = log (y). We are using common logarithms of base 10. Draw a scatter diagram of the (x, y') data pairs and compare this diagram with the diagram of part (a). Which graph appears to better fit a straight line? The two diagrams are the same. The…

A chemistry experiment is performed measuring the solubility of potassium chloride (KCl) in water at different temperatures. The goal was to determine if there is a linear relationship between the temperature of the water and how much KCl can dissolve, measured as grams per 100 milliliter (g/100mL). After the experiments were performed, the following data was collected with temperature being the independent x-variable and solubility being the dependent y-variable: Temperature (°C) x Solubility (g/100mL) y 10 31 20 33 30 37 40 41 50 42 Based on the data given for temperature and solubility of KCl and without doing any math yet, which of the following do you predict would best describe the relationship between these variables? A positive linear relationship (r close to 1) A positive linear relationship (r close to -1) A negative linear relationship (r close to 1) A negative linear relationship (r close to -1)…
