Using a sample of 46 college students, we want to determine if there is a significant correlation between weight (in lbs.) and weekly exercise (in minutes). The results of a correlation and regression analysis are indicated in the Excel output below. The mean weight (the independent variable) was 166.80 lbs., and the mean weekly exercise time (the dependent variable) was 158.83 minutes.

Part B: If a college student’s weight is 150 lbs., what is the best predicted weekly exercise time (in minutes) for this college student?
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.
