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 p…

In Exercises 14.144–14.149, we repeat data from exercises in Section 14.2. For each exercise here,

a. obtain the linear correlation coefficient.
b. interpret the value of r in terms of the linear relationship between the two variables in question.
c. discuss the graphical interpretation of the value of r and verify that it is consistent with the graph you obtained in the corresponding exercise in Section 14.2.
d. square r and compare the result with the value of the coefficient of determination you obtained in the corresponding exercise in Section 14.3.

Q1. The table provided gives data on indexes of output per hour (X) and real compensation per hour (Y) for the business and nonfarm business sectors of the U.S. economy for 1960–2005. The base year of the indexes is 1992 = 100 and the indexes are seasonally adjusted. a. Plot Y against X for the two sectors separately. b. What is the economic theory behind the relationship between the two variables? Does the scattergram support the theory? c. Estimate the OLS regression of Y on X. Note: on the table ( 1. Output refers to real gross domestic product in the sector. 2. Wages and salaries of employees plus employers’ contributions for social insurance and private benefit plans. 3. Hourly compensation divided by the consumer price index for all urban consumers for recent quarters.) Thank you!
