Understanding the Pearson Correlation Coefficient (r) The Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient (r) assesses the degree that quantitative variables are linearly related in a sample. Each individual or case must have scores on two quantitative variables (i.e.‚ continuous variables measured on the interval or ratio scales). The significance test for r evaluates whether there is a linear relationship between the two variables in the population. The appropriate correlation coefficient depends on

Correlation and Regression Assignment Problem 1. a. Explain which variable you chose as the explanatory variable and discuss why. * The explanatory variable is the height. This is because I am assuming that as height increases‚ the weight will increase as well. So the weight is the dependent variable b. Produce a scatter plot and insert the result here. * Scatter plot c. Find the equation of the regression line‚ Write it in the form of y=a+bx‚ where a is the y-intercept

What is Correlational Research? The correlation research method is appropriate when researchers want to study and “assess relationships among naturally occurring variables.” Assessment means making predictions about the nature of the relationships being studied. It also means describing the relations and assigning them a “correlation coefficient” that describes the direction and magnitude of the movement of variables to one another. There are many types of correlational research. The commonality
