Search the internet and Statistics Canada for some potential variables that you will use in your investigation. You will first want to find a good dependent variable that you can get a lot of data for. It should be something you are interested in so that you get the most out of this assignment. After you find your dependent variable with as many data points as possible, search for the potential factors that may have a relationship with it. Consider a few steps ahead: What type of correlation would it be, if a strong correlation is determined? Would the correlation be accidental? If so, this may not be a good choice as an independent variable. If there is no correlation, is that an interesting conclusion? If so, then it is likely a good choice for an independent variable. If you are having trouble finding 2 variables, you can think about considering a large general variable like the ones on the statistics for 42 Countries. Choose the main variable that you want to measure versus other variables. This will go on the vertical axis of your scatter plot. Provide rationale for why you chose this variable and brainstorm different variables that may impact it. Research the variable on the internet and collect data for at least 10 years (the more the better) or over at least 10 different places in the same year. Dependent variable Choose the independent variables that you want to measure against the dependent variable. You will find 2 different variables for which you can create a line of best fit with to test correlation. This will be your biggest challenge of the assignment. You need to find variables such that they overlap with the data that you chose for your dependent variable. Independent variable For example: If you found the years 1990 to 2010 for your dependent variable, you will need to find those same years for each of your independent variables. If you had data across the provinces and territories for your independent variable for 2016, you will need data across the provinces and territories for 2016 for each of your independent variables. Two Variable Measures with Linear Models and Correlations Create 2 scatterplots, one for each of your independent variables. Create the linear model to describe the relationship. Describe the strength of the correlation and the meaning of the slopes and y-intercepts. Make conclusions from the two variable analysis taking into consideration the removal of points that are far from the line of best fit. Discuss the overall impact, if any, that the independent variables have on the dependent variable by referring to other sections of the report. If you had more time and resources, what are you still curious about that you may want to pursue further. Take each section described in this activity and create your report using a word processing software. Include all graphs as images in the report.
