significance level (i.e., p-value) for the test that the correlation between the variables salary and market is zero? i. Before beginning, we performed a Google search to better understand the correlation between variables. After loading the data file, we then entered the “pwcorr salary market, sig print (.05)” command. The University of Indiana Stata website was very helpful in both providing code and explanations. In this case, the correlation between salary and market test scores was positive,

dependence does hours of study have on student’s exam score. 2. Report the r2 linear correlation coefficient and the linear regression equation produced in the Excel spreadsheet. From the excel plot, linear correlation coefficient, r2 or R2 = 0.785 and the linear regression equation is: y = 1.5608x + 55.767 3. What would be the value of Pearson’s r (simply the square root of r2)? Pearson correlation coefficient, r = sqrt(r2) = sqrt(0.785) = 0.886 4. Would Pearson’s r be positive or

variables. In order for multiple regression to be an accurate forecasting tool, each x-variable should have a slightly linear relationship with the y-variable. Below in Table (i) is a list of the 10 quantitative x-variables that have the highest correlation with sales. These 10 variables will be used to obtain the final multiple regression equation. Additionally, the problem of

Wendy’s would total to about 990 calories. Going to Wendy’s and ordering what I would actually get was under 2,000 calories which is the limit of calories a 14-18 year old girl who is Moderately active should have. The scatter plot of items on Wendy’s menu had a positive correlation, the more calories in the food item the higher the total grams of fat in the food item was. To clarify, eating a food item with less fat and less calories would be more beneficial than eating a food item with a high amount
