... What is the best interpretation of the number 0.35? (a) 35% of the variability in pulse rate is explained by the amount of stimulant. (b) The correlation between amount of stimulant and pulse rate is 0.35. (c) When a patient is given one additional milligram of stimulant, their pulse tends to increa ...

Chapter 1: Introduction
... The width of the intervals defining the histograms need not all be equal. It is often sensible to choose short intervals where the data is quite dense but intervals with a longer width where the data is more sparse. This will ensure that we don’t have too many intervals with zero frequency, yet keep ...
