Chapter 4 Describing the Relation Between Two Variables 4.1 Scatter Diagrams; Correlation

Bivariate data is data in which two variables are measured on an individual. The response variable is the variable whose value can be explained or determined based upon the value of the predictor variable. A lurking variable is one that is related to the response and/or predictor variable, but is excluded from the analysis

A scatter diagram shows the relationship between two quantitative variables measured on the same individual. Each individual in the data set is represented by a point in the scatter diagram. The predictor variable is plotted on the horizontal axis and the response variable is plotted on the vertical axis. Do not connect the points when drawing a scatter diagram.

EXAMPLE Drawing a Scatter Diagram The following data are based on a study for drilling rock. The researchers wanted to determine whether the time it takes to dry drill a distance of 5 feet in rock increases with the depth at which the drilling begins. So, depth at which drilling begins is the predictor variable, x, and time (in minutes) to drill five feet is the response variable, y. Draw a scatter diagram of the data.

Two variables that are linearly related are said to be positively associated when above average values of one variable are associated with above average values of the corresponding variable. That is, two variables are positively associated when the values of the predictor variable increase, the values of the response variable also increase.

Two variables that are linearly related are said to be negatively associated when above average values of one variable are associated with below average values of the corresponding variable. That is, two variables are negatively associated when the values of the predictor variable increase, the values of the response variable decrease

The linear correlation coefficient or Pearson product moment correlation coefficient is a measure of the strength of linear relation between two quantitative variables. We use the Greek letter (rho) to represent the population correlation coefficient and r to represent the sample correlation coefficient. We shall only present the formula for the sample correlation coefficient.

1. The linear correlation coefficient is always between -1 and 1, inclusive. That is, -1 < r < If r = +1, there is a perfect positive linear relation between the two variables. 3. If r = -1, there is a perfect negative linear relation between the two variables. 4. The closer r is to +1, the stronger the evidence of positive association between the two variables. 5. The closer r is to -1, the stronger the evidence of negative association between the two variables. Properties of the Linear Correlation Coefficient

6. If r is close to 0, there is evidence of no linear relation between the two variables. Because the linear correlation coefficient is a measure of strength of linear relation, r close to 0 does not imply no relation, just no linear relation. 7. It is a unitless measure of association. So, the unit of measure for x and y plays no role in the interpretation of r. Properties of the Linear Correlation Coefficient

EXAMPLE Drawing a Scatter Diagram and Computing the Correlation Coefficient For the following data (a)Draw a scatter diagram and comment on the type of relation that appears to exist between x and y. (b) By hand, compute the linear correlation coefficient.

EXAMPLE Determining the Linear Correlation Coefficient Determine the linear correlation coefficient of the drilling data.

A linear correlation coefficient that implies a strong positive or negative association that is computed using observational data does not imply causation among the variables.
