Suppose we found the age and weight of a sample of 10 adults.
Create a scatterplot of the data below.
Is there any relationship between the age and weight of these adults?
Age 24 30 41 28 50 46 49 35 20 39
Wt 256 124 320 185 158 129 103 196 110 130

Suppose we found the height and weight of a sample of 10 adults.
Create a scatterplot of the data below.
Is there any relationship between the height and weight of these adults?
Ht 74 65 77 72 68 60 62 73 61 64
Wt 256 124 320 185 158 129 103 196 110 130
Is it positive or negative? Weak or strong?

The closer the points in a scatterplot are to a straight
line - the stronger the relationship.
The farther away from a straight line – the weaker the relationship

Correlation Coefficient (r)-
• A quantitativequantitative assessment of the strength & direction of the linear relationship between bivariate, quantitative data
• Pearson’s sample correlation is used most
• parameter - rho)

Calculate r. Interpret r in context.
Speed Limit (mph) 55 50 45 40 30 20
Avg. # of accidents (weekly)
28 25 21 17 11 6
There is a strong, positive, linear relationship between speed limit and average number of accidents per week.

A value of r close to zero does not rule out any strong relationship between x and y.
r = 0, but has a definite definite relationship!
