Correlation decribes relationship between things that change together based upon some dependence. There are multiples examples of correlation. My power utility bills goes up a lot in winter. This is a negative correaltion for me as it makes me spend more and use more electricity to heat my apartment. Another example of correlation is how good nutrient from Myplate helps keep kids healthy nationwide. The daily value in nutrients, once taken properly help being healthy. This is a good correlation between health and food. one correlation can be positive for a group and be negative for another one. PBR is a brazilian stock for oil. When the barrel of oil cost around a $100 dollars investors are not happy of the price and the stock cost a lot.
11. Why is correlation data (data showing that two events occurred at the same time) not necessarily meaningful? Because one factor might not be the cause of the other.
There are several differences between correlation and causation. Correlation is if an event happens and is not related to another event and it is a coincidence. This would be if an event happened but it was not connected to another. An example of this would be catching a foul ball at a baseball game. It would be a correlation because you just happened to be in that place where the ball was hit and were able to catch it. Causation on the other hand is a cause and effect. One thing happens because another thing previously happened. An example of this would be if a person drank caffeine late at night, then they would be up all night. Another example of this would be if someone slipped on ice coming out of class.
Correlation is usually when two things tend to happen together at the same time and causation is something happens because of something else. I think it is harder to prove causation because
scores; (b) describe in words the general pattern of correlation, if any; (c) figure the correlation coefficient; (d) figure whether the correlation is statistically significant (use the .05 significance level, two-tailed); (e) explain the logic of what you have done, writing as if you are speaking to someone who has never heard of correlation (but who does understand the mean, deviation scores, and hypothesis
* Correlation coefficient (R-squared) – This represents how well the independent variables (X) explain the response variable (Y).
However, a correlation between two variables does not necessarily imply causation but for a causal relationship to exist between two variables there must be a correlation between the variables (Solomon W. Golomb, 2005). When predicting the Grade Point Averages, correlation might not be a good test for its prediction. This is because there is no GPA is not only influenced by intelligent quotient but it is also influenced by other external factors like Education background, family background, social and political environment among other factors. Other statistical tests may include the use of rating scales to rate qualities that cannot be directly rated through correlation by use of variables like good, fair, and excellent among others. Coefficient of correlation might also be used as a technique of predicting the Grade Point Averages. This refers to the main result of a correlation whereby it predicts significant and smaller changes among variables by use of scale r that ranges from +1.0 to -1.0.
Correlative studies are ones where the independent variable is not manipulated. Instead, scientists research the existing variation in them. Causative studies are ones that manipulate the independent variable to see how it affects the dependent variable.
When calculating the correlation between two variables, the objective is to see how one variable is influenced by another variable. The bivariate
Correlation means a mutual relationship or connection between two or more things, and it's different from causation, because that means the effect after an action. For example, in my life the correlation being a parent and their child and the causation could be a child getting an F for not studying. The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study is an overall study of the parents and students. They test their skills in academics then do a survey to better understand the thought process of each one and where it came from. The purpose was to see their correlation and causation. If they went hand-in-hand or not, another example, "A child whose parents are highly educated typically does well in school; not much surprise there" (199). What the parent does for their child is more helpful than what a parent is. With the support it all fits in and helps the child in its academic performance. I however, think it can go both ways; a parent can help and be it to be beneficial. It all depends on the child at the time and what its capabilities are, not their
The theoretical lens I took on this case study was a holistic or integrative approach. The distressful variables that are applied Anna's life and current situations cannot be addressed solely based on one theory and require a lens that pulls together several frameworks to address each distressful factor in Anna's life. Due to Anna's age, low socioeconomic status, neglect, possible physical abuse, self-image, confusion, overweight, and hearing impairment, there are several diagnoses that she could potentially display, such as Social Anxiety Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Adjustment Disorder, Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Separation Anxiety Disorder (Henderson & Thompson, 2016). Assessments I would incorporate for each potential disorder are as follows:
Pt. is a 17 y/o Caucasian female presented at NNBHC with a dx of Adjustment Disorder with Anxiety, who have demonstrated SI with a plan to overdose. Pt reports going to visit maternal grandmother for two weeks, and was not expecting to see biological mother. Pt reports not seeing her biological mother in almost 3 years, which triggered traumatic memories from her past. Pt reports that when she was 8 years old she was molested by mother’s boyfriend numerous times, where she described that she touched him and he touched her. Pt reports repressing this memory, and when she saw her mother this recovered the memory. Pt stated “ seeing mom brough back memories of the molestation”. Pt reports that she felt that her mother
"A correlation is a statistical to determine the tendency or pattern for two (or more) variables or two sets of data to very consistently" (Creswell, (2012). any
Since the maximum value of the predictor variable (calls) is used to formulate the given regression model is 201.00, which is less than 300, we cannot use the given regression model to accurately estimate the weekly sales for weekly call of 300. So we can’t say anything about the weekly sales when weekly calls are 300.
Research shows that there is a correlation that shows the relationshop between the IQ and the grade point average of students. It was found that the correlation is strong at a .75 because it’s a direct relationship. For instance when someone has a higher IQ they are more likely going to have a higher GPA. However although the correlation shows a higher IQ means higher GPA does not mean that is the only reason the GPA is rising, it could be because they hired a tutor, have been studying more or are maybe just in more interesting classes. In correlation studies they show that there is a relationship between two different variables however it is not evidence or proof in any way. The reason it isn’t proof is because it has not been proven that they are directly the reason for the relationship however that they do have common results. Some of the reasons correlation cannot prove anything is because of the limitations; these would be the lack of information about the correlation, sample size or the standard deviation. In our text it states “If the word correlation is broken down co-relation it is expresses what is meant: The characteristics are related and the evidence for the relationship is that they vary together, or co-vary. As the level of one variable changes, the other changes in concert, this happens because both variables contain some of the same information. The higher the correlation the more they may have in common” (Tanner,2011).
