Questions and Answers

What is the meaning of perfect correlation?

  • Correlation coefficient is 0
  • Correlation coefficient is undefined
  • Correlation coefficient is -1
  • Correlation coefficient is 1 (correct)
  • When two variables move in the opposite direction, what is the nature of the correlation of two variables?

  • Perfect correlation
  • Positive correlation
  • Negative correlation (correct)
  • No correlation
  • Define Simple, Multiple and Partial correlation.

  • Simple: Relationship between more than two variables; Multiple: Relationship between two variables; Partial: Relationship between multiple variables without controlling for other variables
  • Simple: Relationship between two variables; Multiple: Relationship between more than two variables; Partial: Relationship between multiple variables with controlling for other variables
  • Simple: Relationship between two variables; Multiple: Relationship between more than two variables; Partial: Relationship between multiple variables while controlling for other variables (correct)
  • Simple: Relationship between two variables; Multiple: Relationship between more than two variables; Partial: Relationship between multiple variables without controlling for other variables

    Define correlation. Write its types also.

    <p>Correlation is a statistical measure that describes the extent to which one variable changes when another variable changes. The types of correlation include positive correlation, negative correlation, and no correlation.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Define the term positive correlation.

    <p>Positive correlation is a relationship between two variables in which they move in the same direction. This means that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Define Regression.

    <p>Regression is a statistical method used to examine the relationship between two or more variables. It is commonly used to predict the value of one variable based on the value of another variable.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    If the coefficient of correlation between two variables $x$ and $y$ is 0.64, their covariance is 16, and the variance of $x$ is 19, find the standard deviation of the $y$ series.

    <p>The standard deviation of the $y$ series can be found using the formula $s_y = r \cdot \frac{s_x},{|r|}$, where $r$ is the coefficient of correlation and $s_x$ is the standard deviation of the $x$ series. Substituting the given values, we get $s_y = 0.64 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{19}},{0.64} = \sqrt{19}$. Therefore, the standard deviation of the $y$ series is $\sqrt{19}$.</p> Signup and view all the answers
