b) a child's age and their height? ___________________________

c) an adult's age and their height ? ___________________________

Univariate Data

The first x value

The second x value
The x value
Mean of all of the x values
Mean of all of the y values
Difference between the value of x and the mean of the x values
Squared difference between the value of y and the mean of the y values

Sum of the products of the differences from the means

)(

Product of the sums of the squared differences from the means

The correlation coefficient

 tells us
A positive value of r indicates
A negative value of r indicates
General Guidelines:
If |r| is greater than 0.8, then it is considered _________________________

If |r| is less than 0.5 then it is considered ______________________

Describe a correlation if = 0.71 _____________________________________

Describe a correlation if = 0.83 ____________________________________

Describe a correlation if = 0.83 ______________________________________

Describe the correlation if = 0.23 ___________________________________
Describe the correlation if = 0.93 ___________________________________
Describe the correlation if = 0.13 ____________________________________
