What hypothesis variable do you use when it states there is a linear correlation?
Rho
What test do you use when rho is the variable?
LinRegTTest
What do you do when p<.05?
Reject null
What is the linear regression equation?
y = a + bx
When you reject the null, is it useful or useless?
Useful
What are the requirements for a good estimate?
Linear correlation is strong
# is within range of x values
What defines a strong correlation?
.7 - 1
When there is a weak r value, what value do you use?
Y bar
When do you say yes to the equation being a good estimate?
When # is within the range of x values
When do you say no to the equation being a good estimate?
When # is not within the range of x values
What can you conclude when the p<.05?
Response to question is dependent
What can we predict when probabilities are different enough?
There is a relationship

Sum/Total
How do you find median?
# in middle
Mean is best choice for quantitative data when?
There is NO outlier
Median is the best choice for quantitative data when?
There is AN outlier
Why do you use the median instead of the mean for a quantitative data set when there is an outlier?
Because the mean is more affected by the outlier
