Part 7: Correlation and Regression
1. I predict that height that is not a contributing factor to determine the
number of candies that will be in the bag of skittles purchased. I think this
because correlation does not imply causation.
2. Explanatory variable: number of candies
Response variable: persons height
3.

4. r =.244
CV: .05= .602
.244 < .062 There is no significant linear correlation.
Yes- this is what I expected when I thought about what the results would
before analyzing the data.
5. 22.78 +.706(x)

22.78 + .706 (63.5) = 67.61

No, I dont think it would be appropriate to use this regression

equation to make this prediction because there is no significant
correlation.

6. It would not be appropriate to predict the number of candies in a bag by

Yao Ming, because 90 inches is not in the range of values for our data.
