 Scatterplot:

Correlation Coefficient:
r = ∑((X - My)(Y - Mx)) / √((SSx)(SSy))

r = -6.7 / √((12.3)(34.967)) = -0.3231

2 Paragraph:
What I can assume from the association between the two variables that I have is that they are irrelevant but still
have some relations to each other. The reason why I say this is because age and the number of AP classes you take
doesn’t matter, but usually the older you get the more AP classes you would have. The direction of this graph is
negative.. The strength is moderately strong. The form of this scatterplot is most likely a linear. And there are no
outliers.

I can not assume the causation with only the correlation coefficient. There couldn’t have been a correlation
between two variables because the number of AP classes you take doesn’t matter with age. The only way to get a
correlation between the two is if you change the variables. Mistakes can happen because of two main things, the first
thing can is the confusion between the people on age and classes. And the second is not being able to interpret the
data well because it is not as scattered and is just straight. Another misinterpretation is that just because you’re older
doesn’t mean you have more ap classes.
