How strongly do physical characteristics of sisters and brothers correlate? Here are data on the heights (in inches) of 12 adult pairs: Brother    71 68   66      67 70 71 70 73 72 65   66   70 Sister  69 64 65 63 65 62 65 64 66 59  62 64 (a) Use your calculator or software to find the correlation and the equation of the least-squares line for predicting sister’s height from brother’s height. Make a scatterplot of the data and add the regression line to your plot. Damien is 70 inches tall. Predict the height of his sister Tonya. Based on the scatterplot and the correlation r, do you expect your prediction to be very accurate? Why?

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 predictors. Regression analysis is one of the methods to find the trends in data. The independent variable used in Regression analysis is named Predictor variable. It offers data of an associated dependent variable regarding a particular outcome.
