Correlation

The document discusses correlation, specifically the relationship between two quantitative variables using Pearson's r and Spearman's rho. It explains the concepts of dependent and independent variables with examples, and provides a correlation chart for interpreting the strength of relationships. Additionally, it includes a practical example of determining correlation between students' Math and English grades.

n
Correlation
• Deals with the relationship
between two quantitative
variables.
• Linear correlation coefficient
“Pearson product moment
correlation” – Karl Pearson
Pearson’s r
Where is the number of pairs of values of the
variables;
are the values of the independent
variable; and
are the values of the dependent variable
Bivariate Data
• Contains two sets of related data
• A dependent variable in an
experiment is the variable that is
affected by the independent
variable or outside factor.
Example
1.The time spent by a student in reviewing a
lesson is related to his score in an examination.
• Dependent variable (y): score in an examination
• Independent variable (x): time spent in
reviewing a lesson
Example
1.Age is related to human stamina.
• Dependent variable (y): human
stamina
• Independent variable (x): age

1. Determine the correlation between the Math and English
grades of students shown in the table below. Interpret the
result based on the Pearson’s r product moment correlation
chart.
Student Grade in Math (x) Grade in English (y)
Floyd 90 82
Chris 92 79
DJ 88 81
Justine 87 78
Franc 90 88
Ken 93 86
Bianca 97 82
Spearman’s rank Correlation
Coefficient or Spearman’s rho

• Where D is the difference in the ranks


of x and y values; and
• N is the number of pairs of x and y.
