      ##  The Seatbelts series is a mts object with 8 variables and 192 observations
      ##  Frequency: 12 
      ##  Start time: 1969 1 
      ##  End time: 1984 12
      # Variables included in the data set
      colnames(Seatbelts)
      ## [1] "DriversKilled" "drivers"       "front"         "rear"         
      ## [5] "kms"           "PetrolPrice"   "VanKilled"     "law"

    DriversKilled = Car drivers killed

    Drivers = Total number of drivers involved in car accidents

    Front = front-seat passengers killed or seriously injured.

    rear = rear-seat passengers killed or seriously injured

    kms = distance driven

    PetrolPrice = Price of gas in that given year

    Vankilled = number of van (‘light goods vehicle’) drivers killed

    law = (0/1) was the law in effect that month?

Conclusion: From the the way the data set is arranged as well as the graph, we could tell that the data is time series.

  • rock

    • This data provides us with measurements on 48 rock samples from one petroleum reservoir.

      colnames(rock)
      ## [1] "area"  "peri"  "shape" "perm"

Area = area of pores space, in pixels out of 256 by 256

peri = perimeter in pixels

Shape = perimeter/sqrt(area)

Perm = Permeability in milli-Darcies

# Graph 
plot(rock)

Conclusion: From the the way the data set is arranged as well as the graph, we could tell that the data is cross-sectional.

Q1. In your own words, what is covariance? What is Variance?

Q2. Why would dividing the covariance of y and x by the variance of x give you the slope coefficient from a simple linear regression (one x variable only)?

Q3. Show Q2 in R.
