Question
Answer
independent variable x is   called the explanatory variable  
🗑
dependent varaible y is called   the response variable  
🗑
scatterplots are usually analyzed according to   direction, form, strenth, and outliers  
🗑
direction is   whether there isa positive assocaition, engative association or neither  
🗑
form   clusters of points, linear patter  
🗑
strength of the relationship   how close to a straight line do these points appear to lie  
🗑
outliers   points that do not follow the gernal pattern of the data  
🗑
correlation coeffiicent   measures the direction and strength of the linear relationship between two quanittiative varaibles  
🗑
formula for r   i/n-1 times sigma xi-x ove sx times yi-y over sy  
🗑
correlation coefficient r is always a number between and including   -1 and 1  
🗑
if r is positive then x and y are said to have a   positive assocaiting  
🗑
if r=1 then x and y have a   perfect positive correlatrion  
🗑
if r is negative then x and y have a   negative assocaition  
🗑
if r= -1 then x and y have a   perfect negative correlationsghip  
🗑
the closer r is to either 1 or -1   the stronger the relationship is between the two variables  
🗑
if r=o   there is no correlation between the two variables  
🗑
teh correlation coefficent only measures   the existence and strength of linear relationships  
🗑
the formula for the correlation coefficient is extremely   sensitive to outliers  
🗑
the correalation coefficient has   no units  
🗑
the corrleation coefficient is the same   regardless of which variable you consider to be the explanatory and which you consider to be the response  
🗑
formula for lsqr   y hat equals naugth plus b1x  
🗑
b1 is the   slope of the line  
🗑
b1 formula is   r sy/sx  
🗑
naught is   the y intercept of the line  
🗑
banaught formula is   ybar minus b1xbar  
🗑
teh diference btween y and yhat is caled   an error or a residual  
🗑
a residual is   the observed value of y minus the prediceted value of y  
🗑
the point xbar and ybar is a pooint   on every regression line  
🗑
fsquared is called the   coefficient of determination and meaures the variation in y that is explained by y's linear assocaition with x  
🗑
a residual plot   graphs the residuals on the vertical axis adn either the explanatory response or rpredicted response values on the horizontal acis.  
🗑
residuals from a LSQR alwasy ahve a mean of   0  
🗑
the horizontal axis   of a residual plot correspond to the regression line, which means trhat a residual point plotted onm the horizontal axis has a residual value of 0  
🗑
the correlation coefficient and the lsqr for a set of data   can be strongly influence by an outlying observation  
🗑
an observation is influiential if   removing it would markedly change the position fo the rergression line  
🗑
if the ordered pairs x,y ina d ata set dispalay a graph with an approxiamately exponetial shape then the graph of the ordred paris   x, log y will display a graph owith an approximately linear shape  
🗑
if the ordered pairs x, y ina d ata set display a graph tyhat is approximately a power function then the graph of the ordered pairs   log x, log y will display a graph with an approxialmatley linear shape  
🗑
if a function resembles a power function then it is reasonable hat the point   0,0 should lieo n its graph  
🗑
extrapolation is the   use of a regression line for prediction ioutside the range of balues of the explanatory variable x that yo used to obtain the line such predictions cannot be trusted  
🗑
interpolation is the use   ogf a repgression line for a rpediction inside the range of the values of x, making it a more trustworthy procedure  
🗑
association does not imply casuation   in othjer wrods, a strong correlation between two varaibles does not mean that a cause adn effect relationsip exists between them  
🗑
a lurking variable is a variable that has   an important effecton the relationshi among the varibles in a study but is not included among the varaibles  
🗑
a confounding varaible is a   lurking vatriable that affects only he response variable but creates a situation here it is impossible to dete4rmine whether ther affect on the respmse variable is caused by the explanatory variable, the confusing lurking variable, or neither  
🗑
