Transcript text: 2.3: Least squares method
What variables are used in the scatterplot above?
What is the direction of the correlation?
What is the strength of the correlation?
- Negative
- No correlation
- Positive
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Determine the variables
The x-axis represents credit score, and the y-axis represents home equity.
Step 2: Determine the direction of correlation
The points generally trend upwards from left to right. This indicates a positive correlation.
Step 3: Determine the strength of correlation
While a positive correlation exists, the points are quite spread out. This suggests a weak positive correlation.
Final Answer
Variables: Credit score and Home equity
Direction of correlation: Positive
Strength of correlation: Weak positive
