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…

Use the following linear regression equation to answer the questions. x1 = 1.5 + 3.6x2 – 7.8x3 + 1.8x4 (c) If x2 = 10, x3 = 7, and x4 = 7, what is the predicted value for x1? (Use 1 decimal place.) answer: -4.5 Suppose x3 and x4 were held at fixed but arbitrary values and x2 increased by 1 unit. What would be the corresponding change in x1? answer:3.6 Suppose x2 increased by 2 units. What would be the expected change in x1? answer: 7.2 Suppose x2 decreased by 4 units. What would be the expected change in x1? (e) Suppose that n = 13 data points were used to construct the given regression equation and that the standard error for the coefficient of x2 is 0.461.

Assume there is a positive linear correlation between the variable R (Return rate in percent of a financial investment) and the variable t (age in years of the investment) given by the regression equation R= 2.3t + 4.8 A. Without further information, can we assume there is a cause-and-effect relationship between the return rate and the age of the investment? B. If the investment continues to grow at a constant rate, what is the expeted return rate when the investment is 7 years old? C. If the investment continues to grow at a constant rate, how old is the investment when the return rate is 30%?
