* Is it Hot in Here?

Or is it Just Me?
Noah Donahue
* Collect Outside and Inside Temperatures and
Compare
* If Temperature Outside decreases then my room
(Inside) Temperature will decrease with a moderate
positive correlation.
* r = 0.534 and r^2 = 0.285
* Sample Survey

*Introduction
* No population
* Sample Survey is a small collection of data to
represent a whole data set. I collected 9 days
worth of information.
* 3 recordings a day for 9 days
* Outside Temperature is Explanatory; Inside
Temperature is Response

*Data Set

(1,62) and (50, 69)
* Correlation r = 0.512
* Moderate Strength; Positive direction;
Somewhat valid

* Coefficient of Determination r^2 = 0.262


* Any prediction made using the regression
model y = 0.226 + 60.594 will have a 26.2%
explained variation

* Correlation and Coefficient


of Determination
* Least Squares Regression Line is a line that makes
the sum of the squares as small as possible.
* y = 0.226x + 60.594
* y = 0.226 (35) + 60.594
* y = 7.91 + 60.594
* y = 68.504
* If Outside Temperature is 35 then I predict that
Inside Temperature will be 68.504 with a 26.2%
explained variation.

*My Prediction
* Lurking Variables have an important effect on
the relationship between the variables,
however, it isnt an explanatory variable
* Door closed trapped cool air
* Cracked window allowed cool air in
* Portable heater heated one side of room

*Lurking Variables?
* If Temperature Outside decreases then my
room (Inside) Temperature will decrease with a
moderate positive correlation.
* Hypothesis correlation is 0.534
* Real correlation is 0.512
* My hypothesis is correct because theyre both
moderate positive correlations.

*Conclusion
