In this lesson, you will compute and interpret the correlation coefficient for a bivariate, numerical data set.
When you finish this lesson, you will be able to:
- Describe the strength of a relationship between two variables.
- Use technology to find the correlation coefficient and explain what the value tells you about a linear model in everyday language.
Here are the activities that will help you reach those goals:
- 3.5.1: Using Bivariate Data in Context
- 3.5.2: Interpreting the Strength of Linear Relationships
- 3.5.2: Self Check
- 3.5.2: Additional Resources
- 3.5.3: Describing Relationships between Two Variables
- 3.5.3: Self Check
- 3.5.3: Additional Resources
- 3.5.4: Interpreting the Correlation Coefficient
After that, you’ll practice and review.
- 3.5.5: Practice
- 3.5.6: Lesson Summary
