The product moment correlation coefficient (PMCC) measures the linear correlation between two variables. The PMCC can take values between 1 and -1, where 1 is perfect positive linear correlation and —1 is perfect negative linear correlation. = The product moment correlation coefficient, r, is given by2 Given the following summary data, Yxv=367 Yy=270 Y= 33845) Ly = 12976 Lxy=17135 nn =6 calculate the product moment correlation coefficient, r, using the formula Sy FE acd3 The ages, a years, and heights, cm, of seven members of a team were recorded. The data were summarised as follows: Ya=S Ye= 1899 Sy=5714 Sy=72.1 a Find §, (1 mark) b Find the value of the product moment correlation coefficient between a and h. (1 mark) ¢ Describe and interpret the correlation between the age and height of these seven people based on these data.

For each sample, the vet recorded the amount of drug, f, given to the horse and the amount of antibodies present in the blood, g. She coded the data using f= 10x and g = 5(y + 10) and drew a seatter diagram of x against y. Soy = MLAB Unfortunately, she forgot to label the axes on her scatter diagram and left the summary data calculations incomplete. A second student was asked to complete the analysis of the data. a Show that S,= 11148 (3 marks) b Find the value of the product moment correlation coefficient between fand g.
