3417189596X-variableindependent or explanatory variable0
3417189597Y-variabledependent or response variable1
3417189598Y-hatpredicted y2
3417189599Bslope; the amount by which the y increases when x increases by 1 unit3
3417189600ay intercept. It is the height of the line when x=0.4
3417189601LSRLleast square regression line; line that gives the best fit to the data set; minimizes the sum of the squares of the deviations from the line5
3417189602Slope interpretation statementFor each unit increase in x, there is an approximate increase/decrease of b in y.6
3417189603Correlation coefficient interpretation statementThere is a direction, strength, type of association between x and y.7
3417189604ExtrapolationNot knowing whether the pattern observed in the scatterplot continues outside the range.8
3417189605Non resistantaffected by outliers9
3417189606Correlation Coefficient (r)a quantitative assessment of the stregnth and direction of the linear relationship between bivariate, quantitative data10
3417189607Properties of (r) weak0-.511
3417189608Properties of (r) moderate.5-.812
3417189609Properties of (r) strong.8-113
3417189610Value of ra measure of the extent to which x & y are linearly related14
3417189611Correlation does not imply causationCorrelation does not imply causation15
3417189612ResidualsThe verticle deviation between the observations & the LSRL16
3417189613Sum of residualsAlways zero17
3417189614Residual equationresidual=y-yhat18
3417189615Residual plotNo pattern in residual plot then association is linear. Residual plots are the same no matter if plotted against x or y-hat19
3417189616Coefficient of determination r^2gives the proportion of variation in y that can be attributed to an approximate linear relationship between x and y. remains same no matter which variable labeled x20
3417189617Interpretation statement of r^2/ coefficient of determinationApproximately r^2% of the variation in y can be explained by the LSRL of x & y21
3417189618Outliera date point with a large residual22
3417189619Influencial pointA point that influences where the LSRL is located. If removed, it will significantly change the slope of the LSRL23
