I. 2.6 73.0 BACKGROUND
2.8 70.8 Correlation seeks to find the
1.4 82.6 relationship between two
2.6 68.9 variables. It can be solved
1.5 81.0 using the formula below:
6.9 54.2
2.4 67.1 The computed r value will be
a 1.5 73.3 number between -1 to 1. If r
is close to 1, then the
2.5 74.2
variables are positively
1.4 80.7 correlated. If r is close to -1
2.9 72.1 the variables are negatively
2.1 78.3 correlated. If r is close to 0,
4.7 62.9 the variables are not
6.8 54.4 correlated.

1. Accurately solve for the correlation coefficient.

2. Give an appropriate interpretation for the computed r value

IV. ACTIVITY:

1.  The World Bank collects information on the life expectancy of a person in each
country ("Life expectancy at," 2013) and the fertility rate per woman in the country
("Fertility rate," 2013). The data for 24 randomly selected countries for the year 2011
are listed below. Based on the correlation coefficient, is there a correlation between life
expectancy and fertility?
