Concept explainers

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 p…

The Mayor of texas whom is partners with a local agriculturalist wants to know how the amount of fertilizer and the amount of water given to plants affect their growth. The results were inputted into MINITAB so as to fit the model a) Write out the regression equation b) What is the sample size used in this investigation? c) Determine the values of *, ** and ***, **** d) Conduct a hypothesis test, at the 5% level of significance, to determine whether ? is significant. e) What would be the growth of the plant if 4g of fertilizer and 7g of ater was given to it daily? f) Carry out an F -test at the 1% significance level to determine whether the model is significant

Listed below are altitudes (thousands of feet) and outside air temperatures (°F) recorded during a flight. Find the (a) explained variation, (b) unexplained variation, and (c) indicated prediction interval. There is sufficient evidence to support a claim of a linear correlation, so it is reasonable to use the regression equation when making predictions. For the prediction interval, use a 95% confidence level with an altitude of 6327 ft (or 6.327 thousand feet). Altitude 2 8 13 23 28 31 32 Temperature 56 40 27 −1 −34 −41 −50 a. Find the explained variation. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) b. Find the unexplained variation. (Round to five decimal places as needed.) c. Find the indicated prediction interval. ______°F<y<______°F
