UPDATED - Correlation Worksheet

The document provides instructions and two examples of calculating the correlation coefficient between two variables to determine the strength and direction of their linear relationship. For the first example, test scores and grades in statistics are strongly positively correlated. For the second example, floor area and house price also show a very strong positive linear relationship, meaning higher floor areas correspond to higher prices.

TOTAL Σx = 504 Σy = 591 Σx² = 32,976 Σy² = 44,315 Σxy = 38,094

SOLUTION
GIVEN:
n=8
Σx = 504
Σy = 591
Σx² = 32 976
Σy² = 44 315
Σxy = 38 094

𝑟 = 0. 961685874 or
𝑟 = 0. 96
INTERPRET:
The degree of linear relation between the test scores and the grades in statistics is 0.96, indicating a very strong
positive direct linear relationship between the test scores and the grades in statistics. This means that as the
students get high test scores, it is expected that their grades in statistics are also high

𝑟 = 0. 97
INTERPRET:
The degree of linear relation between floor area and house price is 0.972, indicating a very strong positive direct
linear relationship between floor area and house price. This means that as the floor area of ​a house increases, so
does the price of the house.
