For the data below, compute the pearson correlation: determine the direction and strength:
| X (Just the label for the row) | Y |
| 3 | 4 |
| 2 | 5 |
| 1 | 9 |
| 6 | 2 |
Solution
1.
Using technology, we set that the correlation is
r = -0.891042111 [ANSWER]
As it is negative and very close to -1, then we see that the relationship is a STRONG, NEGATIVE, LINEAR relationship. [ANSWER]
