4. correlation Flashcards
(11 cards)
bivariate data def
data that has pairs of value for two variables
which variable is put on the x or y axis
independent on x
dependent on y
what does correlation describe
the nature of the linear relationship between 2 variables
negative correlated variables
one variable decreases the other decreases
positive correlated variables
one variable increases the other increases
in y = a + bx
coefficient b tells you
the change in y for each change in x ,, gradient
in y = a + bx
if coefficient is positive
if coefficient is negative
data positively correlated
data is negatively correlated
the regression of a Line of y is written as
y = a + bx
what is the use of regression line
make predictions for the values of the dependent variables that are within the range given
interpolating
estimating a value inside the data range is
extrapolating
estimating a value outside the data range
