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…

Textbook Question

Chapter 14.2, Problem 42E

In each of Exercises 14.42–14.45, we have presented two linear equations and a set of data points. For each exercise,

a. plot the data points and the first linear equation on one graph and the data points and the second linear equation on another.
b. construct tables for x, y, ŷ, e, and e² like Table 14.4 (page 626).
c. determine which line fits the set of data points better, according to the least-squares criterion.
