Given the following sample observations, draw a scatter diagram on a separate piece of paper.
X:−7,−16,13,3,16
Y:54,24,11,57,1,342
Compute the correlation coefficient. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
Does the relationship between the variables appear to be linear?
Try squaring the x variable and then determine the correlation coefficient. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
Compute the correlation coefficient. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
Use Formula "=CORREL(Array 1, Array 2)" in excel
correlation coefficient r = 0.249
2. Does the relationship between the variables appear to be linear?
Yes there is a weak positive linear relationship between x and y variable
3. Try squaring the x variable and then determine the correlation coefficient. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
After squaring the x variable, correlation coefficent r = 0.960
It is a strong positive linear relationship between the variables
