Correlation

1. The heights and weights of 10 basketball players in the PBA are randomly
selected from different teams. Calculate the value of Pearson r and interpret the
result.

n= 10 710 1787 126955 50474 321859

10(126955) − (710)(1787)
𝑟 = 2 2
= 0.19
[10(50474) − (710 )][10(321859) − (1787 )

Interpretation: There is a positive negligible correlation between the height and weight
of 10 players.
2. Compute for the value of Spearman rho and determine the degree of
relationship between weight and height of bottle–fed infants using the same
brand of milk.
