Study Notes
Two-Way Table
- Organizes data from two categorical variables
- Used to investigate associations between variables
Categorical Variable
- Takes on values that can be divided into distinct groups or categories
- Example: Colors like red, blue, green
Variable (Statistics)
- Represents a characteristic of individuals in a population
- Can assume different values
Relative Frequency Table
- A type of two-way table where cell values are divided by the total number of responses
- Can be calculated for the entire table, rows, or columns
- Useful for demonstrating relationships, such as textbook condition versus price
Association
- Indicates a statistical relationship between two variables
- If one variable's value can help estimate the other, an association is present
Residual
- Refers to the difference between the actual y-value and the predicted y-value from a linear model
- Visualized as dashed lines in scatter plot diagrams
Correlation Coefficient
- Ranges from -1 to 1, highlighting the strength and direction of a linear association
- A value close to 0 indicates a weak relationship, while values near 1 or -1 denote a stronger fit to the data
Strong Relationship
- Characterized by data closely clustered around the best fit line in statistical modeling
- Suggests a reliable prediction of one variable based on another
Positive Relationship
- Occurs when an increase in one variable results in an increase in another
- Indicates a direct correlation between the variables
Negative Relationship
- Happens when an increase in one variable corresponds to a decrease in the other
- Reflects an inverse correlation between the two variables
Weak Relationship
- The data is dispersed loosely around the best fit line
- Indicates less predictability and reliability in the correlation
Causal Relationship
- A specific type of relationship where a change in one variable directly causes a change in another variable
- Essential in establishing cause-and-effect scenarios in research.
