Tutorial Chapter 3-STA

This document provides two examples of using correlation and regression analysis to analyze relationships between variables: 1) For a school, it examines the relationship between tuition class period hours and the number of students who fail examinations, finding a moderate negative correlation. 2) For house buyers, it analyzes the relationship between years of working experience and affordable down payment amounts, determining a strong positive correlation. The examples calculate correlation coefficients, regression equations, coefficients of determination, and use the regression equation to estimate values for new data points.
