Correlation Analysis Formula Interpretation and Linear Regression 1

This document discusses two statistical analysis methods: correlation analysis and simple linear regression. Correlation analysis uses Pearson's r formula to determine the correlation coefficient between two variables, with values between -1 and 1 indicating the strength of correlation. Simple linear regression finds the linear relationship between an independent and dependent variable by calculating the slope and y-intercept of the line of best fit.
