It can be very misleading to rely on the correlation coefficient alone when selecting a regression model. To illustrate, (a) run a linear regression on the data set given (without doing a scatterplot), and note the strength of the correlation (the correlation coefficient). (b) Now run a quadratic regression (CALC 5:QuadReg) and note the strength of the correlation. (c) What do you notice? What factors other than the correlation coefficient must be taken into account when choosing a form of regression?
