Question
Answer
what are the two purposes of the pearson correlation and regression descriptive aspects: to study the relationship between __ and to predict scores on one variable from scores of __- how are scores __   show
🗑
use X for the __ (__) variable and Y for the __ (__) variable   show
🗑
the pearson correlation is used to determine the extent to which ..   show
🗑
regression is used to identify the line that best describes this relationship as determined by a statistical criterion known as the   show
🗑
the relationship between certain variables X and Y, represents the values of X on the abscissa and the values of Y on the ordinate, and the scors for each individual on the body of the graph   show
🗑
show slope  
🗑
show y1-y2/ x1-x2  
🗑
a relas X increases so does Y and as X decreases so does Y- this shows what relationship   show
🗑
show negative  
🗑
point at which a line intersects the y axis when x=0   show
🗑
show a  
🗑
a linear model is a __ that states the __ relationships and how they can differ in the values of their __ and values of their __   show
🗑
linear model equation   show
🗑
b= the __ and a= the __   show
🗑
show y, x  
🗑
using the linear equation we can substitute the scores on __ and get the scored predicted on __   show
🗑
show -1.00 to +1.00, r  
🗑
show direction, direct relationship, inverse relationship  
🗑
correlation coefficient of 0 means that there is   show
🗑
the magnitude of the correlation coefficient is indexed by its   show
🗑
the magnitude indicates the __ to which a __ is approximated   show
🗑
the further r is in either a positive or negative direction from 0, the ...   show
🗑
show sum, products  
🗑
show size of correlation and sample size  
🗑
show divide by N  
🗑
show N, scores fall between -1 and +1  
🗑
show sum of squares for variable X and variable Y  
🗑
sum of crossproducts is more precise and efficient because it requires __ and presents __   show
🗑
show causes, causal relationship  
🗑
show varies  
🗑
show +/- .20 +/- .30  
🗑
the proportion of variability in the dependent variable that can be explained by or that is associated with the independent variable   show
🗑
the proportion of variability in the dependent variable and cant be explained by and is not associated with the dependent variable   show
🗑
when two variables are not perfectly correlated, the statistical technique of __ can be used to identify a line that fits the data points better than any other line   show
🗑
show least squares criterion  
🗑
the regression line describes the nature of the __ between the two variables   show
🗑
show y=a +bx  
🗑
the slope of the regression line equation:   show
🗑
show a=y-bX  
🗑
show intersects the yaxis at the value of the intercept  
🗑
show y increases by the b  
🗑
show squared vertical distances  
🗑
the criterion for deriving the values of the slope and intercept   show
🗑
show discrepancy scores, minimize the sum of these squared errors  
🗑
show actual and predicted y scores  
🗑
show always equal zerio  
🗑
index of predictive error   show
🗑
typical error made when predicting y from x   show
🗑
conditions of standard error of estimate (4)   show
🗑
show interval  
🗑
show both x and y  
🗑
show linear  
🗑
show x  
🗑
show meaningful  
🗑
the standard error of estimate can be compared with the __ of Y which indicated what the average error in prediction would be if one were to predict a Y score equal to the mean of Y for each individual   show
🗑
show not be sensitive to this  
🗑
show curvilinear or polynomial regression  
🗑
show y, x  
🗑
show conversion rates  
🗑
from a statistical perspective, the designation of one variable as X and one varialbe as Y is   show
🗑
show regression  
🗑
if interest is merely in whether a given variable is linearly related to another __ can be applied   show
🗑
from a conceptual perspective the decision of which variable to designate as X and which to designate as Y has   show
🗑
show magnitude  
🗑
show reduce the magnitude of the correlation coefficient  
🗑
show range of x, regression  
🗑
we must not extend our interpretation of correlational results outside the range of the original data set- the conclusions drawn from a correlational analysis apply only to the   show
🗑
the pearson correlation coefficient reps the extent to which two variables approximate a linear relationship for the __ of __ included in its __   show
🗑
show standardize x and y scores, apply formula to calculate slope  
🗑
in regression line eq. you dont have to calculate the intercept of the regression line when standard scores are analyzed in this manner because it will always   show
🗑
show correlation ccoefficient  
🗑
a correlation coefficient conveys the number of __ that one variable is predicted to change given a change of one standard score in the other variable, other things being __   show
🗑
the magnitude and sign of a correlation coefficient can be influenced by __   show
🗑
show turn weak correlation into strong or strong correlation into weak  
🗑
how strong a relationship is determined through   show
🗑
show nature of relationship, strength of relationship  
🗑
show slope of regression line should be 0 when no linear relationship  
🗑
show b or r  
🗑
show variability, y, x,  
🗑
