between two quantitative variables In Chapter 14 we will investigate the relationship between two or more qualitative variables In Chapter 13 the basic problems will be Determine whether there is a relationship If there is one then describe it quantitatively Through this quantitative description we will to be able to predict the value of one variable when we know the value of the other Robb T

bivariate if two observations which we will call x and y are made for each member of the sample x is the explanatory variable y is the response variable x is also called the independent variable y is also called the dependent variable Robb T Koether Hampden Sydney College Modeling a Linear Relationship Wed Nov 9 2011 6 49 Scatterplots Definition Scatterplot A scatterplot is a display in which each observation x y is plotted as a point in the xy plane Open the file Painkillers xls See the article Painkiller Overdose Deaths Triple Make a scatterplot of the data What does it indicate What are the unusual values Robb T Koether Hampden Sydney College Modeling a Linear Relationship Wed Nov 9 2011 7 49 Free Lunches vs Graduation Rates Example Free lunch Rate vs Graduation Rate Is the free lunch rate in a school district correlated with the graduation rate in that district Recently the Richmond Times Dispatch published data for school districts in the Richmond area We will draw a scatterplot of the data and see what it looks like Robb T Koether Hampden Sydney College Modeling a Linear Relationship Wed Nov 9 2011 8 49 Free Lunches vs Graduation Rates Example Free lunch Rate vs Graduation

How would we describe the relationship qualitatively and quantitatively Robb T Koether Hampden Sydney College Modeling a Linear Relationship Wed Nov 9 2011 12 49 Linear Association Draw or imagine an oval around the data set If the oval is tilted then there is some linear association If the oval is tilted upwards from left to right then there is positive association If the oval is tilted downwards from left to right then there is negative association If the oval is not tilted at all then there is no association Robb T Koether Hampden Sydney College Modeling a Linear Relationship Wed Nov 9 2011
