The accompanying data resulted from an experiment in which weld diameter and shear strength (in pounds) were determined for five different spot welds on steel. Below are the data collected and the regression equation. Diameter Strength 200.1 813.7 210.1 785.3 220.1 960.4 230.1 1118.0 240.0 1076.2
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.
The accompanying data resulted from an experiment in which weld diameter and shear strength (in pounds) were determined for five different spot welds on steel.
Below are the data collected and the regression equation.
| Diameter | Strength |
| 200.1 | 813.7 |
| 210.1 | 785.3 |
| 220.1 | 960.4 |
| 230.1 | 1118.0 |
| 240.0 | 1076.2 |
Strength = -941.6992 + 8.5988*Diameter
a)The predicted y-hat value for a diameter of 201 is 864. Interpret this predicted value.
b)what is the predicted strength of a weld with a diameter of 51?
