Height (in)
The point (70,65) is an outlier because the Y value is smaller than the X
value and no other points are like this, this causes the point to be near the
bottom of the graph but far away from the regression line.
The points (67,450) and (77,500) are also outliers because their Y values are
greater than all the Y values of the other points; this causes the points to be
far above the regression line.
Correlation describes the direction and strength of a straight line
relationship, it is represented with (r). Our correlation value was 0.555, which
means the correlation is positive, so as X increases Y increases. The
correlation of 0.555 means the correlation is moderate meaning the
correlation is somewhat valid.
The least-squares regression line is a line that makes the sum of the squares
of the vertical distance as small as possible. The equation of our regression
line was y=10.711x-516.180
y = 10.711(50) 516.180
y = 535.55 516.180
y = 19.37
If youre 50 inches tall we can predict that you will ride a 19.37(cc) dirt-
scooter with a 30.8% variation with a positive correlation. The correlation of .
555 means that is moderately accurate and valid which means our prediction
was somewhat correct.
