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 8.P1, Problem 2P

After viewing the results of her computer experiments, it slowly dawns on the hydrologist that the “optimal shape” of the container is consistent with what would be expected based on the conceptualization that the water in the ideal container would consist of a collection of small parcels of water of mass m , all possessing the same amount of potential energy. If laboratory spatial constraints were not an issue, what would be the ideal “shape” of each container? Perform a computer experiment that supports your conclusions based on potential energy considerations.

Suppose you fit the first-order model y = Po + B, x, + B2x2 + B3X3 + B,x4 + B5X5 + ɛ to n=28 data points and obtain SSE = 0.33 and R = 0.94. Complete parts a and b. a. Do the values of SSE and R suggest that the model provides a good fit to the data? Explain. A. Yes. Since R = 0.94 is close to 1, this indicates the model provides a good fit. Also, SSE = 0.33 is fairly small, which indicates the model provides a good fit. B. There is not enough information to decide. No. Since R = 0.94 is close to 1, this indicates the model does not provide a good fit. Also, SSE = 0.33 is fairly small, which indicates the model does not provide a good fit. b. Is the model of any use in predicting Test the null hypothesis Ho: B, = B2 = ... = B5 = 0 against the alternative hypothesis: At least of the %3D parameters B1, B2, B5 is nonzero. Use a = 0.05. The test statistic is (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Please solve part d and e only. The body mass index (BMI) of a person is defined to be the person’s body mass divided by the square of the person’s height. The article “Influences of Parameter Uncertainties within the ICRP 66 Respiratory Tract Model: Particle Deposition” (W. Bolch, E. Farfan, et al., Health Physics, 2001:378–394) states that body mass index (in kg/m2) in men aged 25–34 is lognormally distributed with parameters μ = 3.215 and σ = 0.157. a.Find the mean and standard deviation BMI for men aged 25–34. b.Find the standard deviation of BMI for men aged 25–34. c.Find the median BMI for men aged 25–34. d.What proportion of men aged 25–34 have a BMI less than 20? e.Find the 80th percentile of BMI for men aged 25–34.
