Study Notes
Tangerine Promotions
- Tangerine offers promotions on new money transferred to savings accounts, featuring high interest rates for the first few months.
- Questions arise regarding how much new money is attracted by promotional interest rates, such as 1% or 2% higher than the base rate, and how to visualize this relationship.
Scatterplots Explained
- Scatterplots plot one quantitative variable against another, offering an effective way to visualize data.
- They are the ideal way to picture associations between two quantitative variables
Correlation vs Causation
- Two variables may be correlated without implying a cause-and-effect relationship.
- A third, unseen "lurking" variable may influence both variables.
- Correlation, therefore, does not equate to causation.
Correlation Properties
- The standard deviation of the residuals (Se) assesses the spread of points around the regression line.
- Estimating the standard deviation of residuals is done by using Se = √Σe² / n-2
Simple Regression Results
- The formula y=bo+b,x is the equation for simple regression
- When interpreting the graph, S is 3049.50
- R-Sq is 15.3%
Regression to the Mean
- When analyzing data or sets, use this equation to determine each predicted value Å·
- It indicates closeness to the mean 2y/2x
- Each value should be as close to the mean as possible.
