Study Notes

Linear Regression

  • Involves using statistical tools to find the best-fitting straight line for a given set of data points.
  • Process includes inputting data in lists L1 and L2, followed by calculating with LinReg option in stat calculations.

Exponential Regression

  • Utilizes statistical methods to model data that grows or decays in percentage terms.
  • Similar setup includes entering data in lists L1 and L2, then applying ExpReg in the statistical calculator.

Standard Deviation

  • Measures the amount of variation or dispersion in a set of values.
  • A small standard deviation indicates that data points are close to the mean, while a large standard deviation means data is more spread out.

Shape: Symmetric

  • Data distribution is balanced and evenly spaced around the center, indicating that mean and median are approximately equal.

Shape: Skewed Right

  • Graph displays data that predominantly clusters on the left side, with a tail extending to the right, showing decreasing frequency of higher values.

Shape: Skewed Left

  • Data is concentrated on the right, with a tail tapering off toward the left, indicating that lower values occur less frequently.

Shape: Uniform

  • Distribution shows equal frequency across all intervals, leading to a flat appearance on the graph.

Mean

  • Represents the average of a data set and is most effective for symmetric distributions; may be skewed by outliers.

Median

  • The middle value of an ordered data set, providing a better measure of central tendency for skewed data or datasets containing outliers.

Correlation Coefficient ("R")

  • Indicates the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables; values range from -1 to 1, with closer to zero suggesting a weak correlation.
