BiologyBIOL132UniversityNone Created by: KatherineCreated on: 07-06-16 21:56 What does a correlation do> It illustrates the direction and strength of a relationship between 2 variables e.g. height and shoe size. 1 of 11 WHat is used to illuastrate this correlation? Scatterplot 2 of 11 What is a positive correlation? High scores on one variable associated with high scores on another 3 of 11 What is a negative correlation> A negative correlation is the opposite; high scores on one variable are linked with low scores on another. 4 of 11 What is correlation measure on? A scale of +1 = perfect positive correlation, 0 = no correlation, -1 = perfect negative correlation. 5 of 11 What is pearson's correlation coefficient r=1 - it is the most common measure of correlation. 6 of 11 What does pearson's correlatino coefficient assume? It assumes continous data (if not then use spearman's test0, linear relationship between variables - measures linear correclation. 7 of 11 How do you determine is scores on one variable predict or explain those on another> Square the correlation number and multiply by 100. 8 of 11 Give an example of this: Correlation between number of session and satisfaction = 0.5, so 25% of variability can be predicted of satisfaction. 75% remains unexplained 9 of 11 What is regression? It is the relaationship between variables. 10 of 11 What is regression used for? To caluclate line of best fit. 11 of 11
