7-2 Correlation Coefficient
Objectives
• Determine and interpret the correlation coefficient.
Correlation Coefficient - Facts
• Correlation coefficient is always between -1 and +1.– Weak correlation is closer to zero and strong correlation
is closer to either -1 or +1.• Ex. r = 0.21 or -0.21 (weak), r = -0.98 or 0.98(strong).
– If correlation is equal to exactly -1 or +1 then the data points all fall on an exact straight line.
r = +.3 r = +1
