Franco L. and Korey G. Topic 9 Lab 9-6: b) The correlation calculated to be 1. c) The correlation calculated to be 1.

d) The correlation calculated to be 1. e) The correlation calculated to be 1. f) The degree of the slope on a scatter plot does not necessarily affect the correlation between the two variables because it stayed constant in all of the examples above. 9-7: a) The observation follows a linear pattern except for the one outlier that got near 100 on the first exam but only 10 on the second. b) The observation mostly follows no pattern except for one point, which actually follows the linear pattern, the rest do not however. c)

I am not surprised by either of these values they are pretty much exactly what I expected to see based on the values from the graph. d) These scatter plots show resistance of the correlation efficient because even though they both have one outlier they are both very strong in their correlations. e) There are two clusters on the scatter plot which means the class was split between doing really well and very poorly.

f) This value is significantly higher than I expected. I expected there to be almost no correlation between the two tests, but it shows that correlation is not dependant on the spread of the graph. 9-9:

a)

There is a fairly strong negative correlation between the two variables. This is because the average score gets progressively lower as the percent taking increases. b) I would conclude that there is a cause and effect relationship between the variables because, the average score gets progressively lower as the percent taking increases. 9-11: a)

There is a weak/moderate correlation between the two variables. b) Guess: .40 c) Actual: .29, my guess was close to the actual correlation. d) The three states are Connecticut, New Jersey and Massachusetts. e) Guess .55 f) Actual: .52 g) The correlation went up and my guess was extremely close to the actual correlation. 9-18:

These two correlations turned out to be so different because When you had a failure the temperature was unpredictable, but with no failures it stay constant. When you removed that, the correlation dropped.
