CORRELATION
COEFFICIENT
Interpreting correlation using a scatter plot can be subjective. A more precise way to measure the type and strength of a linear
correlation between two variables is to calculate the correlation coefficient. Although a formula for the sample correlation
coefficient is given, it is more convenient to use a technology tool to calculate this value.
CORRELATION AND CAUSATION
1. Is there a direct cause-and-effect relationship between the variables?
2. Is there a reverse cause-and-effect relationship between the variables?
3. Is it possible that the relationship between the variables can be caused by a third variable or perhaps a combination of several other variables?
4. Is it possible that the relationship between two variables may be a coincidence?
