Page history last edited by Sherri Brogdon 8 years, 1 month ago

  

 

Project Objective: Students will create a table, scatterplot, trend line, and equation for the correlation between personal technology use and math quiz scores.  They will also calculate the correlation coefficient.

Use the following website to calculate the correlation coefficient:  Pearson r. 

 

As a rule of thumb, the following guidelines on strength of relationship are often useful (though many experts would somewhat disagree on the choice of boundaries).

 

Value of r 

Strength of Relationship 

-1 to -0.5 or 0.5 to 1.0

Strong 

-0.5 to -0.3 or 0.3 to 0.5

Moderate 

-0.3 to -0.1 or 0.1 to 0.3

Weak 

-0.1 to 0.1 

None or very weak 

 

Correlation is only appropriate for examining the relationship between meaningful quantifiable data (e.g. air pressure, temperature) rather than categorical data such as gender, favorite color etc.
