Lesson 5.2: Linear Correlation Analysis Application

A.  A researcher calculates the Pearson correlation coefficient and obtains r = -1.52. What does
this mean? It is Negative Linear Relationship

B.  A researcher wants to examine if there is a linear relationship between the age and size of
foot of females from 25 to 50 years. She obtains a large number of data and computes for the
correlation coefficient. Is the relationship positive or negative? Why? It is Positive Linear
Relationship beacause the size of our feet corresponds to our age from 25 to 50yrs old

C. Listed below are the final exam results and term grades of second year students taking up
calculus. Construct a scatter plot and interpret the result. Calculate Pearson’s correlation
coefficient. Do the scatter plot and correlation coefficient show the same result?
