identify a question that could be answered using a Pearsons

identify a question that could be answered using a Pearson\'s correlation test. Discuss why this type of test would be appropriate for the question you are asking. What are your variables? Why is the strength of the relationship among these variables important?

Solution

Question is : Is there any positive correlation exists between height and weight of a person. More specifically a person with above average height is expected to have above average weight.

Here both variables are quantitative and we need to find the relationship between the variables so Pearson\'s correlation test is appropriate.

Variables are :

Independent variable: Height

Dependent variable: Weight

This relationship is important for the reseacher\'s who are doing ananlysis about human body tendency.
