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…

9.2.3 An analyst used the regression line for the data to the right to predict the annual salary for a registered nurse with 28 years of experience. Is this a valid prediction? Explain your reasoning. A. Yes, the prediction is meaningful because x=28 makes sense in the context of the original data set. B. No, the prediction is not meaningful because x=28 is outside the range of the original data set. C. Yes, the prediction is meaningful because x=28 is not part of the original data set. D. No, the prediction is not meaningful because the regression line may not be used to generate meaningful predictions.
