  3. Use this as your study guide By the end of lecture today2/7/14 • Correlational methodology • Positive, Negative and Zero correlation • Population (census) versus sampleParameter versus statistic

  4. Schedule of readings Before next exam (February 14th) Please read chapters 1 - 4 in Ha & Ha textbook Please read Appendix D, E & F onlineOn syllabus this is referred to as online readings 1, 2 & 3 Please read Chapters 1, 5, 6 and 13 in Plous Chapter 1: Selective Perception Chapter 5: Plasticity Chapter 6: Effects of Question Wording and Framing Chapter 13: Anchoring and Adjustment

  5. Lab sessions Labs continue next week

  6. Homework due – Wednesday (February 12th) On class website: please print and complete homework worksheet #6

  7. Review of Homework Worksheet Notice Gillian asked 1300 people .10 x 1,000,000 = 100,000 130/1300 = .10 10 .10 100,000 .08 8 80,000 .10x100=10 25 .25 250,000 35 .35 350,000 22 .22 220,000 130+104+325+455+286=1300

  9. Review of Homework Worksheet

  10. Negative Strong Review of Homework Worksheet Down -.9 9 8 7 6 Dollars Spent 5 4 3 2 1 50 10 30 20 40 Age

  11. Negative Strong Review of Homework Worksheet Down -0.9227 =correl(A2:A11,B2:B11) =-0.9226648007

  12. Negative Strong Review of Homework Worksheet Down -0.9227 This shows a strong negative relationship (r = - 0.92) between the amount spent on snacks and the age of the moviegoer Description includes: Both variables Strength (weak,moderate,strong) Direction (positive, negative) Correlation r (actual number) =correl(A2:A11,B2:B11) =-0.9226648007

  13. Scatterplot displays relationships between two continuous variables Correlation: Measure of how two variables co-occur and also can be used for prediction Range between -1 and +1 The closer to zero the weaker the relationship and the worse the prediction Positive or negative

  14. Correlation - How do numerical values change? http://neyman.stat.uiuc.edu/~stat100/cuwu/Games.html http://argyll.epsb.ca/jreed/math9/strand4/scatterPlot.htm Let’s estimate the correlation coefficient for each of the following r = +.90 r = +1.0 r = -1.0 r = -.50 r = 0.0

  15. This shows a strong positive relationship (r = 0.97) between the appraised price of the house and its eventual sales price r = +0.97 Description includes: Both variables Strength (weak,moderate,strong) Direction (positive, negative) Estimated value (actual number)

  16. r = +0.97 r = -0.48 This shows a moderate negative relationship (r = -0.48) between the amount of pectin in orange juice and its sweetness Description includes: Both variables Strength (weak,moderate,strong) Direction (positive, negative) Estimated value (actual number)

  17. Description includes: Both variables Strength (weak,moderate,strong) Direction (positive, negative) Estimated value (actual number) This shows a strong negative relationship (r = -0.91) between the distance that a golf ball is hit and the accuracy of the drive r = -0.91

  18. Description includes: Both variables Strength (weak,moderate,strong) Direction (positive, negative) Estimated value (actual number) This shows a moderate positive relationship (r = 0.61) between the length of stay in a hospital and the number of services provided r = 0.61 r = -0.91

  19. r = +0.97 r = -0.48 r = 0.61 r = -0.91

  20. Variable name is listed clearly Description includes: Both variables Strength (weak,moderate,strong) Direction (positive, negative) Estimated value (actual number) Variable name is listed clearly Both axes have real numbers listed Both axes and values are labeled This shows the strong positive (r = +0.8) relationship between the heights of daughters (in inches) with heights of their mothers (in inches). 48 52 5660 64 68 72 Height of Mothers (in) 48 52 56 60 64 68 72 76 Height of Daughters (inches)

  25. Break into groups of 2 or 3 Each person hand in own worksheet. Be sure to list your name and names of all others in your group Use examples that are different from those is lecture 1. Describe one positive correlation Draw a scatterplot (label axes) 2. Describe one negative correlation Draw a scatterplot (label axes) 3. Describe one zero correlation Draw a scatterplot (label axes) 4. Describe one perfect correlation (positive or negative) Draw a scatterplot (label axes) 5. Describe curvilinear relationship Draw a scatterplot (label axes)

  26. Variable name is listed clearly Description includes: Both variables Strength (weak,moderate,strong) Direction (positive, negative) Estimated value (actual number) Variable name is listed clearly Both axes have real numbers listed Both axes and values are labeled This shows the strong positive (r = +0.8) relationship between the heights of daughters (in inches) with heights of their mothers (in inches). 48 52 5660 64 68 72 1. Describe one positive correlation Draw a scatterplot (label axes) Height of Mothers (in) 2.

  27. Negative Strong Review of Homework Worksheet Down -0.9227 Must be complete and must be stapled Hand in your homework =correl(A2:A11,B2:B11) =-0.9226648007

  28. Population (census) versus sampleParameter versus statistic Parameter – Measurement or characteristic of the population Usually unknown (only estimated) Usually represented by Greek letters (µ) pronounced “mu” pronounced “mew” Statistic – Numerical value calculated from a sample Usually represented by Roman letters (x) pronounced “x bar”
