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.
