The correlation coefficient is:

• the range of values over which the probability may be estimated based upon the regression equation results.

• the proportion of the total variance in the dependent variable explained by the independent variable.

• the measure of variability of the actual observations from the predicting (forecasting) equation line.

• the relative degree that changes in one variable can be used to estimate changes in another variable.

Know what is meant by entropy and how certain processes are irreversible (e.g. heat flow into the environment, many phase changes, mixing of two substances initially separated) lead to changes in entropy while certain ideal cyclic processes not.

Know the relationship between reversible and irreversible processes and how to recognize whether a process is reversible or not. Please give an example of each
