Correlation and regression always inspire a certain degree of fascination because they provide a methodology for prediction.

Correlation and regression always inspire a certain degree of fascination because they provide a methodology for prediction. These techniques are not magic (and remember always that correlation is not causation), but in many circumstances useful predictions can be made. Fully describe a situation in your field of interest (not from the text) where you believe a correlation or regression study would be of interest and describe the study and how correlation or regression would further the aims of the study.Some tips:1) You should describe a study where you will measure two quantitative variables for a random sample. Describe them, whether you will use correlation or regression, and the intended utility of your result.2) A simple study is preferred. This course does not cover how you would handle large numbers of variables.3) Don't describe a study where you compare two (or more) different groups. That is not covered in this course either
