Quotes

  • Andreahas quoted4 years ago
    In a normal (“bell shaped”) distribution, the mean, median and mode will be smack in the middle of the curve, with 50% to the left and 50% to the right. The mean of a Z score distribution will be 0, and the standard deviation will be 1
  • Andreahas quoted4 years ago
    linear regression calculates an equation that allows us to make an “educated guess” at a person's score on some measure, given their scores on other measures. For instance, we might want to predict a person's GPA in college, given their GPA in high school.
  • Andreahas quoted4 years ago
    Bivariate correlation involves two variables, and (not surprisingly) multiple correlation involves more than two variables. The former is calculated using the Pearson correlation statistic (r), while multiple correlation is calculated using the multiple correlation coefficient, R. Correlations of 0 indicate no linear relationship, while correlations of 1 indicate perfect linear relationship.
