2
Common errors
________ involving correlation: assuming that correlation implies causality, using data based on averages, ignoring the possibility of a nonlinear relationship.
New cards
3
R
________ is very sensitive to outliers in the sense that a single outlier could dramatically affect its value.
New cards
4
confidence interval
A** ________** is a range of values used to estimate a population parameter.
New cards
5
coefficient of determination
The** ________** is the proportion of the variation in y that is explained by the regression line.
New cards
6
residual plot
A** ________** is a scatterplot of the (x, y) values after each of the y- coordinate values has been replaced by the residual value y- y hat.
New cards
7
total deviation
The** ________** of (x, y) is the vertical distance y- y bar, which is the distance between the point (x, y) and the horizontal line passing through the sample mean y hat.
New cards
8
regression equation
The ________ algebraically describes the regression line.
New cards
9
prediction interval
A** ________** is a range of values used to estimate a variable.
New cards

R
________ measures the strength of a linear relationship.
New cards
11
correlation
A ____________ exists between 2 variables when the values of 1 variable are somehow associated with the values of the other variable
New cards
12
linear correlation
A ______________ exists between two variables when there is a correlation and the plotted points of paired data result in a pattern that can be approximated by a straight line
New cards
13
