Question
Answer
independent variable x is called   the explanatory variable  
🗑
depedent variable y is called   the response variable  
🗑
scatterplots are analyzed according to   direction, form, outliers, and strength  
🗑
direction of the scatterplot is   whether there is apositive assocaition or negative or neither  
🗑
form   clusters of points, linear pattern, etc  
🗑
strength of the relationship   how close to a straight line do these poitns appear  
🗑
outlioers   points that do not follow the geneartal pattern of th data  
🗑
the correlation coefficient   measuers the direction and strength of the linear relationship between two quantitative variables  
🗑
formula for r   1/n-1 sigma (xi-x)/sx (yi-y)sy  
🗑
correlation coefficient is always   between -1 and 1  
🗑
if r is positive then x and y   have a positive assocaition  
🗑
if r=1 then x and y   have a perfect positive correlation  
🗑
if r is negative than   x and y have a negative association  
🗑
if r= -1   then x and y have a perect negative correlation  
🗑
the c;oser r is to either 1 or -1   the strnoger the relationship fo the variabels  
🗑
r=0   no correlation  
🗑
the formula for the correlation coefficient is   extremely sensitive to outliers  
🗑
the correlation coefficient has   no units  
🗑
the correlation coefficient is the same regardless of   which variavle you consdier to be the explantory and which you consider to be the response  
🗑
formula for least squares regression line   yhat=bnaught+b1x  
🗑
b1 equation   b1=rsy/sx  
🗑
b0 is   the y=intercept of the line  
🗑
b0 equatrion   ybar-bixbar  
🗑
residual equation   y-yhat  
🗑
a point on every regression line is   xbar, ybar  
🗑
rsquared is called   the coefficient of determination  
🗑
r2 measures   the variation in y that is explained by y's linear assocaitoon with x  
🗑
residual plots graphs on the vertial axis and either the explanatory response or predicted   response values on the horizontal axis  
🗑
residuals from a LSQR have a mean of   0  
🗑
influential   an observation si influential if removing it would markedly change the position of the regression line  
🗑
logarithmic transformation   if the ordered pair (x,y) in a data set display a graph with an approximately exponetial shape then the graph of the ordered pairs (x, logy) will disaplay a graph with an approximately linaer shape  
🗑
if a function resembles a power functionthen   it is reasonable that the point (0,) lies on its graph  
🗑
extrapolation   is the use of a regression line for predictin outside of the values of the explanatory variable x tht you used to ontain the line  
🗑
interplotation   is the use of regressionj line for prediction wsindie of the range of the values x  
🗑
association does not imply causation   in other words, a strong correlation between two varaibles does not mean that a cause and effect relatioship exists  
🗑
a lurking varaible   is a variable that has an important effect on the relationship among the varaibels in a study but is not included among the varaibles  
🗑
a confounding variable   is a lurking variable that affects onylt he response variabvle but creates a situation where it is impossible to determine whether the affect on the response variable is casued by the expkanatory variable, the confounding lurking variable, or neither  
🗑
