Correlation Chapter 10
Correlation Analysis • Measures the strength of linear association between two numerical variables. • Example: Height of Men and Shoe Size
Correlation Coefficient (r) • Strength of association • Values range from -1 to +1 • Positive Linear Relationship– if the points seem to loosely fall around a line sloped upwards. • Negative Linear Relationship – if the points fall around a straight line sloped downwards.
Calculator 1. Input the data set in two lists 2. Call up the LinRegTTest Stat Tests LinRegTTest 3. Specify the two lists where you stored the data
Example • Calculate the Correlation Coefficient Between X and Y: r = 0.9527 There is a strong positive linear association between X and Y
