PEARSON PRODUCT MOMENT CORRELATION AND COEFFICIENT
The Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient is a measure of the strength of the linear
relationship between two variables. It is referred to as Pearson's correlation or simply as the
correlation coefficient. If the relationship between the variables is not linear, then the correlation
coefficient does not adequately represent the strength of the relationship between the variables.
The symbol for Pearson's correlation is "ρ" when it is measured in the population and "r" when
it is measured in a sample. Because we will be dealing almost exclusively with samples, we will
use r to represent Pearson's correlation unless otherwise noted.
In order to determine how strong the relationship is between two variables, a formula must be
followed to produce what is referred to as the coefficient value. The coefficient value can range
between -1.00 and 1.00. If the coefficient value is in the negative range, then that means the
relationship between the variables is negatively correlated, or as one value increases, the other
decreases. If the value is in the positive range, then that means the relationship between the
variables is positively correlated, or both values increase or decrease together. Let's look at the
formula for conducting the Pearson correlation coefficient value.

Since the computed value is greater than the tabular value accept the alternative hypothesis,
reject the null hypothesis.
Step 7
Since the r computed value of 1.53 is greater than the r tabular value of 0.750 accept the
alternative hypothesis reject the null hypothesis, regardless of sign at 0.01 level of significance
the research confirms that there is a significant relationship between the age and weekly income of
the students at trace college los banos.
