Paired Data is there a relationship if so, what is the equation use the equation for prediction Overview
Correlation exists between two variables when one of them is related to the other in some way Definition
1. The sample of paired data (x,y) is a random sample. 2. The pairs of (x,y) data have a bivariate normal distribution. Assumptions
Scatterplot (or scatter diagram) is a graph in which the paired (x,y) sample data are plotted with a horizontal x axis and a vertical y axis. Each individual (x,y) pair is plotted as a single point. Definition
Positive Linear Correlation y y y x x x (a) Positive (b) Strong positive (c) Perfect positive Scatter Plots
Negative Linear Correlation y y y x x x (d) Negative (e) Strong negative (f) Perfect negative Scatter Plots
No Linear Correlation y y x x (h) Nonlinear Correlation (g) No Correlation Scatter Plots
xy/n - (x/n)(y/n) r = (SDx) (SDy) • Definition • Linear Correlation Coefficient r measures strength of the linear relationship between paired x and y values in a sample Where xy/n is the mean of the cross products; (x/n) is the mean of the x variable; (y/n) is the mean of the y variable; SDx is the standard deviation of the x variable and SDy is the standard deviation of the x variable
n number of pairs of data presented denotes the addition of the items indicated. x/ndenotes the mean of all x values. y/ndenotes the mean of all y values. xy/ndenotes the mean of the cross products [x times y, summed; divided by n] r linear correlation coefficient for a sample linear correlation coefficient for a population Notation for the Linear Correlation Coefficient
Round to three decimal places Use calculator or computer if possible Rounding the Linear Correlation Coefficient r
1. -1 r 1 2. Value of r does not change if all values of either variable are converted to a different scale. 3. The r is not affected by the choice of x and y. Interchange x and y and the value of r will not change. 4. r measures strength of a linear relationship. Properties of the Linear Correlation Coefficient r
If the absolute value of r exceeds the value in Sig. Table, conclude that there is a significant linear correlation. Otherwise, there is not sufficient evidence to support the conclusion of significant linear correlation. Remember to use n-2 Interpreting the Linear Correlation Coefficient
1. Causation: It is wrong to conclude that correlation implies causality. 2. Averages: Averages suppress individual variation and may inflate the correlation coefficient. 3. Linearity: There may be some relationship between x and y even when there is no significant linear correlation. Common Errors Involving Correlation

Is there a significant linear correlation? 0.842 > 0.707, That is the test statistic does fall within the critical region. Therefore, we REJECT H0: = 0 (no correlation) and conclude there is a significant linear correlation between the weights of discarded plastic and household size. Reject = 0 Fail to reject = 0 Reject = 0 1 - 1 r = - 0.707 0 r = 0.707 Sample data: r = 0.842
Method 1: Test Statistic is t (follows format of earlier chapters)
To determine whether there is a significant linear correlation between two variables Two methods Both methods let H0: = (no significant linear correlation) H1: (significant linear correlation) Formal Hypothesis Test
Test statistic: r Critical values: Refer to Table R (no degrees of freedom) Method 2: Test Statistic is r (uses fewer calculations)
Test statistic: r Critical values: Refer to Table A-6 (no degrees of freedom) Method 2: Test Statistic is r (uses fewer calculations) Reject = 0 Fail to reject = 0 Reject = 0 r = 0.811 1 r = - 0.811 0 -1 Sample data: r = 0.828
Method 1: Test Statistic is t (follows format of earlier chapters) Test statistic: r t = 1 - r 2 n - 2 Critical values: use Table T with degrees of freedom = n - 2
Select a significance level Calculate r using Formula 9-1 r The test statistic is The test statistic is r t = Critical values of t are from Table A-6 1 - r 2 n -2 Critical values of t are from Table A-3 with n-2 degrees of freedom If the absolute value of the test statistic exceeds the critical values, reject H0: = 0 Otherwise fail to reject H0 If H0 is rejected conclude that there is a significant linear correlation. If you fail to reject H0, then there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that there is linear correlation. Start Let H0: = 0 H1: 0 METHOD 1 METHOD 2 Testing for a Linear Correlation
Why does the critical value of r increase as sample size decreases? A correlation by chance is more likely.
