Concept explainers

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…

Answer to Problem 7PT1

Option e is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Type of correlation between the sale of beer and sale of ice-cream is positive.

Correlation defines the linear relationship between the variables.

However, correlation does not imply causation, which means, that the change in the sale of one item is not caused by another variable. But the change can be due to another variable which cause the sales to act in a similar manner.

The ice cream is in high demand in summers. Similarly, beer is mostly consumed in summers.

Therefore, the temperature (acting as a lurking variable) is the most common cause of positive correlation.
