Correlation with simple regression

“

- [Voiceover] In this movie, I will show you how to do correlation with regression. Open exercise file 04-06. We have some data here regarding speed, driver reaction time, and stopping distance of the vehicle after the breaks have been applied. The question of interest here is, "Does speed affect stopping distance?" We can do a correlation on that, and let's plot the data first. To do that, it will be a scatterplot. Go up to Graph, Scatterplot, Simple, and since we are determining whether speed affects stopping distance, the y would be the Stopping Distance, and the x would be the Speed. And here's a scatterplot. It looks like there's a very strong correlation, a positive one, at that, too, because as speed increases, the stopping distance increases too. So, for correlation, go up to Stat, Basic Statistics, Correlation, and the variables you want are Speed, and Stopping Distance. You can use the default Pearson…
