Make sure that THREE of your posts for the week are Statistical in nature AND a direct response to the problems given in the discussion
To find the relationship between x and y we need to plot a scatter-plot between variables which is plotted using the software as:
From the scatter-plot, we can say that there is an almost positive correlation around 0.70.
To find the accurate correlation we do the following tabulation as:
The correlation is calculated as:
based on the data provided the calculation is:
Now from the calculation we find that the exact correlation is 0.77 hence we can say that there is a positive correlation between the variables.
