Question

Of the statistical processes we have covered throughout this course, which would be most helpful to determine if study hours and sleep could help estimate a student's test score?

Answer 1

Answer:

Pearson correlation coefficient

Explanation:

The Pearson correlation coefficient, also simply called correlation coefficient measures the linear correlation between two sets of data/variables, independent variables and dependent variable. A correlation coefficient may only be between -1 and 1 where +1 denotes a perfect positive correlation between variables(both variables increase together), 0 is no correlation, and -1 is perfect negative correlation between variables(one decreases while other increases).
