regression and correlation Flashcards
what is a regression line
line of best fit
y=a + bx
a is y when x=0
b is how much y changes with x
product moment correlation coeffiecitn notation
r for a sample
r varies betweeen -1 and 1
p for a popualtion
what is interpolation
estimating inside data range
reliable
what is extrapolation
estimating outside data range
not reliable
how to solve if y=ab^x
take logs
how to solve if y=ax^n
takje loigs
Venn diagrams shading for unions (U) and intersections (n)
U: shade all of both regions
n: shade overlap of regions
what does product moment correlation coeffiecitn indicate
if there is likely to be a linear relationship within the whole population
steps for hypothesis testing with correlation
hypothesis
data critical region
compare
conclusion
if a and b are mutually exclusive
p(AnB)=
P(AuB)=
p(AnB)=0
P(AuB) = P(A) + P(B)
what does B|A mean
probablity of A given that B has already been pciked
if A and B are inderpended
P(AnB) =
P(a|B) =
in fomrula booklet
if a and b conditional
P(B|A) =
P(AnB)/P(A)
addition law P(AuB)
