17
Q

Linear Correlation (Scatterplot)

A

Where the data plots are close to line set by R2 coefficient of determination.

18
Q

Negative Correlation (Scatterplot)

A

Where low values of (x) are associated with high values of (y) ore vice versa.

19
Q

Positive Correlation (Scatterplot)

A

Where high values of (x) are associated with low values of (y) and vice versa.

20
Q

Complementary event.

A

When 10% of something is defective, and 90% are not, these are the two complementary events as the .9 + .1 add up to 1.
