Which statement best describes the difference between correlation and regression?
Which statement best describes the difference between correlation and regression?
- Correlation measures only linear relationships, while regression assesses all types.
- Correlation measures the average change, while regression estimates values over time.
- Correlation indicates the relationship between variables, while regression predicts one variable based on another. (correct)

Study Notes
Hypothesis Testing
- Hypothesis: An assumption about the relationship between variables.
- Hypothesis Testing: A statistical technique used to test hypotheses about a population.
- Null Hypothesis (H₀): Assumes no difference or relationship between variables.
- Alternative Hypothesis (H₁): Assumes a difference or relationship between variables.
- Null Hypothesis Accepted: No significant difference or relationship is found.
- Null Hypothesis Rejected: A significant difference or relationship is found.
Statistical Significance (P-value)
- Statistically Significant (P-value): Criteria for rejecting or accepting the null hypothesis.
- Usually, the P-value is 0.05.
- P-value > 0.05: Not significant analysis; null hypothesis is accepted.
- P-value < 0.05: Significant analysis; null hypothesis is rejected.
Types of Tests
- t-test: Used for parametric, unpaired, and paired data with two groups.
- Paired t-test: Used for parametric, paired data with two groups.
- Mann Whitney test: Used for non-parametric, unpaired data with two groups.
- One-way ANOVA: Used for parametric, unpaired data with more than two groups.
Correlation
- Correlation: A statistical technique to measure the strength of association between two variables.
- Correlation Described by: Scatter Diagram
- Positive Correlation: Both variables change in the same direction.
- Negative Correlation: Both variables change in the opposite direction.
- No Correlation: Random direction of change.
- Example of Positive Correlation: Increased alcohol consumption increases liver cirrhosis.
- Example of Negative Correlation: Decreased fluid intake increases body dehydration.
- Interpretation of correlation: Range between -1 to 1
- Closer to -1: Stronger negative linear correlation
- Closer to 0: Weaker linear correlation
- Closer to 1: Stronger positive linear correlation
Types of Correlation
- Strong Positive Correlation
- No Correlation
- Strong Negative Correlation
Regression Analysis
- Regression Analysis: Statistical technique to predict the value of one variable (dependent variable, Y) based on another variable (independent variable, X).
- Regression Line: Indicates the average association between two variables in regression analysis.
- Difference between Correlation & Regression:
- Correlation: Both variables are known. Measures the strength of association.
- Relation
- Regression: Predicts an unknown variable from a known variable. Measures how to draw the line by calculating the best fit.
- One variable affects the other
- Correlation: Both variables are known. Measures the strength of association.
