Correlation coefficient - correct answer a measure of the
linear relationship between two attributes. The numerical value
demonstrates how closely the attributes vary together.
Correlation coefficients near -1 and +1 have strong linear
correlation, while a correlation coefficient near 0 has weak (or
no) linear correlation.


Correlation - correct answer an observed relationship
between two quantitative variables. While this is most commonly
a linear relationship, it does not need to be. Note that observing
a relationship does not imply that there is a meaningful causal
link between the variables.


Degree - correct answer the largest exponent in a
mathematical expression or equation.


Experimental study - correct answer the researcher applies a
treatment to one group and no treatment (or placebo) to a
control group, to determine if there is causation between
variables.


Extrapolate - correct answer using information from a data
set to make predictions about data outside of the original set.

, Hypothesis test - correct answer a statistical test that tells us
whether a result is significant.


Least squares - correct answer a technique for finding the
regression line.
Least squares is the criteria by which the best-fit line is selected
for paired data. It is a method that minimizes the squared
distances of data points from a line that captures the trend in
paired data.


Linear extrapolation - correct answer estimation using the
linear regression equation is made outside known data points.


Linear interpolation - correct answer estimation using the
linear regression equation in between known data points.


Lurking variable - correct answer a variable that is not
included in an analysis but that is related to two (or more) other
associated variables which were analyzed.


Negative correlation - correct answer a linear relationship
between two quantitative variables in which the dependent
variable increases as the independent variable decreases.


Observational study - correct answer the researcher observes
if there is an association between variables. There is no
treatment or control group.
