Correlation and Regression

The document discusses correlation and regression analysis. It provides an example of using correlation to examine the relationship between students' study hours and exam scores. The correlation coefficient (r) calculated is 0.87, indicating a strong positive correlation. The document also provides an example of using regression to predict class standing based on time spent playing online games, finding a negative correlation. It encourages thinking of a classroom scenario where these statistical techniques could be applied.

CORRELATION
Correlation is a statistical test that measures the strength and direction of relationship of the two
variables. (Example: height and weight)

Example: The teacher believes that there is a relation between the time of study of her students to
their performance in school. So, she used correlation test to prove if she is right or wrong.

1st – Formulating Hypothesis

Null Hypothesis (H0) = there is no correlation between the time of study of students to their class
performance.

Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) = there is a correlation between the time of study of students to their
class performance.

2nd - Data Collection


Student No. of Hours in School Performance
studying (x) (y)
A 7 86
B 5 82
C 8 88
D 6 87
E 7 86
F 5 80
G 7 87
H 6 84
In this case, the independent variable is the “No. of Hours Studying of Students” while the dependent
variable is their “School Performance”.

3rd - Completing the Data Table

A 7 86 602 49 7396
B 5 82 410 25 6724

51 680 4353 333 57854

r = (8) (4353) – (51) (680)

[(8) (333) – (51) ] [(8)(57854) 2– (680) ]

r= 34824 - 34680
[2664 – 2601][462832 – 462400]

What this value tells us?


r= 144
(63)(432)

r= 144
27216

r= 144
164.97

r = 0.87

∴ there is very strong positive correlation between the


number of hours of study of students with their class performance.

REGRESSION – used to predict the value of dependent variable with respect to independent
variable.

y’ = a + bx

Where:

Example: The teacher wants to know if there is a correlation between the class standings of
her students to the number of hours playing online games.

1st – Formulating Hypothesis


Null Hypothesis (H0) = there is no correlation between the length of time of playing online games to
students class standings.

Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) = there is a correlation between the length of time of playing online
games to students class standings.

2nd – Data Collection


No. of Hours Playing 8 5 6 4 0 1 5 7

Class Standings 79 83 82 83 89 86 82 80

Let’s try to plot it on a Scatter-Plot


Based on the line, we can say that this example is an example
of negative correlation.

To find the regression, first complete the table below.

Ʃx Ʃy Ʃx 2 Ʃxy
36 664 216 2927

a = (664)(216) – (36)(2927)
(8)(216) – (36)2
a = 88.08

b = 8(2927)-(36)(664)
8(216) – (36) )2
b = -1.13

Plug these values in (a & b) to y’ = a + bx

y’ = 88.08 – 1.13x

Activity: As a teacher, think of a classroom scenario that correlation and regression can be
used. Feel free to assign the values of your independent and dependent variables. Assume
that you only have 10 students. N = 10
