Measures of Relationship and Shape

Statistical techniques used to analyze and describe the relationships between variables, including correlation coefficients and scatterplots, as well as measures of shape such as skewness, which characterize the symmetry and distribution of data

Overview

Measures of relationship and shape are essential tools in statistics that help us understand how variables interact and the structure of data. By learning about correlation and regression, students can analyze relationships and make predictions based on data. Understanding the shape of data distribu...

Key Terms

Correlation
A statistical measure that describes the extent to which two variables change together.

Example: A positive correlation means that as one variable increases, the other also tends to increase.

Regression
A statistical method used to predict the value of a dependent variable based on one or more independent variables.

Example: Using regression to predict house prices based on size and location.

Normal Distribution
A bell-shaped distribution where most values cluster around the mean.

Example: Heights of people often follow a normal distribution.

Skewness
A measure of the asymmetry of the probability distribution of a real-valued random variable.

Example: A right-skewed distribution has a longer tail on the right side.

Kurtosis
A measure of the 'tailedness' of the probability distribution.

Example: High kurtosis indicates more data in the tails and a sharper peak.

Mean
The average of a set of numbers, calculated by dividing the sum by the count.

Example: The mean of 2, 3, and 5 is (2+3+5)/3 = 3.33.
