This week’s topic is correlation and regression.
This week, we will determine the relationship that two variables have with each other. We will be testing pairs of data to see if there is a relationship. For example, is there a relationship between the number of hours you exercise and the improvement in your health? If you knew that the more hours you exercised, the better you would feel, it would likely influence your decision to exercise more.
Understanding the relationship between variables is important data for all health sciences when making decisions and giving advice. Let’s see how this topic will help in making decisions about everyday life.
This is our last module of the course. In this module, you will also find a review for the final exam. Please go through that and ask any questions that you have! A separate, ungraded discussion has been dedicated to questions about the final exam.
