Second Semester – Fourth Quarter


Mr. Froilan L. Antonio
Opening Prayer
Dear Lord,
We thank you a hundredfold for the love
and care that you have given us. May we
in return to you your good works by
multiplying it with love and respect, adding
more faith, subtracting the unworldly
behavior and evil works, and dividing your
given talents to others so we can sum it
all and be united as one in your family. In
this, we pray, Amen.
How will you differentiate
independent and dependent
variables?
Introduction to Correlation
Analysis
Fourth Quarter – Lesson 7
OBJECTIVES
Identify and illustrate
bivariate data
Construct a scatter plot
Analyze data from the scatter
plot
Let’s do this! Determine what and how many
variable/s involved in each situation.
Number of
SITUATION Variables Involved

1) Mr. Cruz will donate facemasks to the people in his barangay. He asked a
health worker to survey the number of family members living in each house on One (1)
his barangay.

2) To compensate the employees, the administrative aid records the


number of their working hours and their respective take home pay. Two (2)
3) A school nurse finds out the number of hours of sleep of
20 students and their weight in kilograms.
Two (2)
4) A doctor’s secretary records the number of minutes a
patient spends for a medical check-up. One (1)
WHAT TO KNOW?
Univariate Data Bivariate Data
➢ Data that involve ➢ Data that involve
one variable two variables
➢ Can be described using ➢ Can be described
the measures of using the correlation
central tendency, analysis
variations and other
descriptive statistics
Going back…
From the previous
situations, the 1st and the
4 data are univariate while
th

the 2 and 3 data are

bivariate.
Points to Remember!

CORRELATION ANALYSIS
➢ A statistical technique used
to describe the degree of
association of variables
Decode me, I am a graphical representation that shows the

Points to Remember!
SCATTER PLOT
✓ Shows how closed or how distant the
points of bivariate data on a Cartesian
plane
✓ Gives a good visual for the form, trend
and variation of correlation
Points to Remember!
When you make a scatter plot, always
be mindful which variable will become
x-values or y-values. Plot points the
way you do it in a Cartesian plane.
Always look for the intersection of
your abscissa and ordinate.
Plot my Points!
Construct your own Cartesian plane and plot
the following points.
A (5,1) D (7,-6)
B (-1,3) E (-2,-5)
C (4,6)
Note: Send your work to MS teams when you’re done.
Plot my Points!
