LINEAR MODEL – SCATTER PLOT

REMEMBER : We use scatter plot to see if

the two sets of data is positively correlated
or negatively correlated with one another.

THIS FORMULA IS FOR COEFFICIENT OR

CORRELATION OR PEARSON R
EXAMPLE

 A study recorded the hours per

week on a cellphone (X) and number
of letters in the last name (Y)
POSITIVE CORRELATION – it Increased in
 In the right are the data.
one variable and it wil result to an increased
 Find if there is a correlation
of another and vice versa.
between the 2 variables at 5%
 Increasing – Increasing alpha.
 Decreasing - Decreasing
Ex: If the age was increases the weight also
increases and if the age was decreases the
weight also decreases
NEGATIVE CORRELATION – If there is an
increase of one it will result the decrease of
another.
 Increasing – Decreasing
 Dcreasing – Increasing
Ex: the more people that are vaccinated the
less that illness will occur
NO RELATIONSHIP – this kind of scatter pot
that we are going to use in machine
specially in a quality assurance or quality
control in our laboratory.
NOTE!! THERE IS NO CORRELATION
BETWEEN HOURS SPENT IN USING CP AND
LETTER IN THE LAST NAME
