I. Find the value of Pearson r between the grades in English (x) and grades in Math (y).
Test the significance of their correlation at 5%. Interpret the results. Plot a scatter
diagram for the data below. Then, use regression analysis to predict the grade of a
student in Math if his grade in English is:
a. 77
b. 98
c. 67
Student English Grade Math Grade (y) xy X2 Y2
(x)

A 85 75 6375 7225 5625

B 82 76 6232 6724 5776
C 79 90 7110 6241 8100
D 85 78 6630 7225 6084
E 85 92 7820 7225 8464
F 90 90 8100 8100 8100
G 85 95 8075 7225 9025
H 84 85 7140 7056 7225
I 74 82 6068 5476 6724
J 81 82 6642 6561 6724
Sum 830 845 70192 69058 71847

Ho: There is no significant correlation between English Grade and Math grade.

𝑟 = 0.2086
Df = N – 2 = 10 – 2 = 8
Tabular value of 8 to 0.05 = 0.632
0.2086 < 0.632
Accept the null hypothesis.
There is no significant linear relationship between the English grades and Math grades of the
class. The verbal interpretation of r shows there is a slight correlation between the two
variables.
