PEARSON PRODUCT MOMENT CORRELATION COEFFICIENT Definition It is the measure of the linear correlation between two variables X and Y It is the measure of the strength of a linear association between two variables and is denoted by r. It tells you how strong the linear correlation is for paired numeric data e.g. height and weight. The Pearson correlation coefficient‚ r‚ indicates how far away all these data points are to this line of best fit. Development It was the imagination and idea of Sir Francis

In 2001 psychologist Richard Wiseman created LaughLab; a yearlong project to discover the funniest joke in the world. After analysing 40‚000 jokes that were rated over 1.5 million times‚ the project was finalised and the winning joke was announced. According to Wiseman and his team‚ the funniest joke in the world goes as follows: Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn’t seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the
