Bivariate Data

Bivariate data involves two variables that are analyzed to determine their relationship. Bivariate analysis examines the relationship between two sets of paired data using methods like scatter plots, regression analysis, and correlation coefficients. Scatter plots graph the paired data points to identify patterns that suggest positive, negative, or no correlation between the variables. Regression analysis calculates the equation for the line of best fit through the data points. Correlation coefficients measure the strength and direction of the linear relationship between variables on a scale from -1 to 1.

Bivariate Data

• Data in statistics is sometimes classified according to how many variables is in a particular


study, the data might be a bivariate or univariate.

• Bivariate Data is when you are studying two variables to find the relationship between
them.

Example 1:

A group of Senior High students to find their average grades and their age.

In the example, you have two variables to find (Average grade and age).

Example 2:

Cold water sales compared to the temperature of the day.

Example 3:

The blood pressure of 10 employees and their age.

Example 4:

Car accidents compared to the weather of the day.

Bivariate Analysis
• Bivariate Analysis is the analysis of Bivariate Data. It is one of the simplest forms of
statistical analysis used to find out if there is a relationship between two sets of values. It
usually involves the variables X and Y.

Example 1:

You want to find out the relationship between calorie intake (X) and weight (Y).

Calorie Intake(X) Weight (Y)

1000 100lbs

1500 150lbs

2000 200lbs

2500 250lbs

3000 300lbs

(X,Y)= (2000, 200),(1500, 100),(2500, 300),(1000, 150), (3000, 250)


Example 2:

You want to find out the relationship of a the distance and time of a car travelling.

Distance (Kilometers) Time (Minutes)

10 20

15 30

20 40

25 50

30 60

(X, Y)= (10, 20), (15, 30), (20, 40), (25, 50), (30, 60)

Types of Bivariate Analysis


1. Scatter Plots

--Scatter Plots (Also called scatter diagram)are used to investigate the possible
relationship between two variables that both relate to the same “event”.

Things to look for:

• If the points cluster in a band running from lower left to upper right, there is positive
correlation (if x increases, y increases).

• If the points cluster in a band running from lower left to upper right, there is positive
correlation (if x increases, y increases).

• Imagine drawing a straight line or curve through the data so that it fits as well as possible.
The more the points cluster closely around the imaginary line, the stronger the
relationship that exists between two variables.

Example 1: Calorie Intake vs. Weight

Calorie Intake vs. Weight


400
300
200
100
0
500 1000 1500 2000 2500 3000 3500
Example 2. Distance vs. Time

2.Regression Analysis

-Regression Analysis is a catch all term for a wide variety of tools that can use to determine
how your data points might be related.

- Regression Analysis can give you the equation for that curve or line.

3.Correlation Coefficients

-This coefficient tells you if the variables are related. Basically, a zero means they aren’t
correlated, while a 1 (either positive or negative) means that the variables are perfectly
correlated.
