Which basic quality tool explains a change in the dependent variable in relationship to a change observed in the corresponding independent variable?
Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer
Section: Volume B
Explanation:
* Scatter diagrams, plot ordered pairs (X, Y) and are sometimes called correlation charts because they seek to explain a change in the dependent variable, Y, in relationship to a change observed in the corresponding independent variable,
X. The direction of correlation may be proportional (positive correlation), inverse (negative correlation), or a pattern of correlation may not exist (zero correlation). If correlation can be established, a regression line can be calculated and used to estimate how a change to the independent variable will influence the value of the dependent variable.
