Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Linear regression is the most appropriate statistical analysis for examining the relationship between two continuous variables such as height and rectangular area formed under the lower leg. This analysis can determine if a linear relationship exists between the variables and if so, the strength and direction of the relationship. Standard deviation, chi-square analysis, and probability are used for different types of data, and the Pythagorean theorem is a mathematical formula used to calculate the length of the sides of a right triangle.
