Interpreting Categorical & Quantitative Data - AP Statistics

In order to solve this problem, we need to understand several key concepts associated with correlations. First, let's discuss what is meant by the term "correlation." A correlation exists when two variables possess a statistical relationship with one another. It is important to note that correlation in no way relates to causation. Causation implies that one variable causes change in the other, while correlation simply denotes the observation of a trend between two variables.

Second, let's observe the differences between slope and the correlation coefficient. The correlation coefficient is denoted by the following variable.

It is mathematically defined as a goodness of fit measure that is calculated by dividing the covariance of the samples by the product of the sample's standard deviations. This is also known as Pearson's r and it describes the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables. On the other hand, the slope is described as the gradient of a line and is key component of the slope intercept formula:

This formula provides information about two key parts of a line: the slope and y-intercept.

The slope is commonly defined as rise over run. In other words it is the change in y-values across points divided by the change in x-values. It is calculated using the following formula:

In this formula, the x and y-values come from two points from the line written in the following format:

It is important to note that slopes can be positive or negative. A positive slope moves upward from left to right while a negative slope moves downward. Even though the correlation coefficient will share the same sign as the slope, they mean entirely different things.

We have discussed the following distinctions: the differences between what is meant correlation and causation as well as the differences between the correlation coefficient and the slope. Now, we can start to solve the problem.

First, lets learn how calculate the correlation coefficient from coefficient of determination. The coefficient of determination is denoted by the following:

We can calculate the correlation coefficient by taking the square root of the coefficient of determination:

After we calculate the correlation coefficient, we need to know how to evaluate what the number means. We can pick the sign based on the position of the trendline or slope. If the slope is negative then the trendline travels downward from the left to the right of the graph. On the other hand, if the slope is positive then the trendline travels upwards from the left to the right side of the graph. Below is a table of values that explains the relationships between points based upon the correlation coefficient. A correlation coefficient close to zero indicates a random distribution.

We will start solving this problem by picking out the graph with obvious positive or negative trends and excluding them.

The last, two graph's have a near horizontal trendline, which is indicative of a random distribution:

This graph possesses a trendline with the following coefficient of determination:

We must take the square root of this measure calculated using statistical technology (this standard does not require you to calculate the correlation coefficient, only to interpret it).

This trendline's correlation coefficient is most indicative of a random distribution.

In order to solve this problem, we need to define what is meant by the phrase 'least squares regression equation.' Essentially, the least squares regression equation is the equation of the best-fit line of the data if it were graphed on a scatter plot. Trend lines for data that possess a linear relationship are typically written in the slope-intercept form. This form is commonly written using the equation:

In this equation, the variables are represented in the following manner:

Problems associated with this standard require us to use technology such as statistical programs or calculators to find the least squares regression equation. Essentially, we must use technology to calculate the slope and y-intercept of a group of data points. Let's first use an example to illustrate this process. Consider the following data set:

In order to solve this example and calculate the least squares regression equation, we need to insert the data into a spreadsheet program either using copy/paste techniques or manual entry. The data should look like the following figure:

After the data has been entered into the program, we can use formulas to calculate the slope and y-intercept needed for the least squares regression equation. The slope is calculated using the formula outlined in the red box on the following figure. In this equation, the range of cells in column B represents the y-values while cells from column A denote the x-values.

The number one at the end of the equation designates the specific statistic that we wish to calculate. In this case, one means the slope.

We can see that the slope of the least squares regression equation is the following:

Now, let's calculate the y-intercept. It is calculated by using the formula outlined in the red box of the following figure. Again, column B represents the y-values while cells from column A denote the x-values.

The number two at the end of the equation designates the specific statistic that we wish to calculate. In this case, two means the y-intercept.

We can see that the y-intercept of the least squares regression equation is the following:

Now, we can write the least squares regression equation:

We can check this answer by graphing the points on a scatter plot and fitting it with a trendline.

We can see that the answers are the same. Now, we have learned how to find the least squares regression equation using technology. Let's use this information to solve the given problem. When we insert the data into a statistical program we can calculate the following information:

Let's input this information into a least squares regression equation in the slope intercept format:

The slope is calculated using the formula outlined in the red box on the following figure. In this equation, the range of cells in column B represents the y-values while cells from column A denote the x-values.

The number one at the end of the equation designates the specific statistic that we wish to calculate. In this case, one means the slope.
