Scatterplots, Association, and
Correlation
![Page 3: AP Statistics Monday, 26 October 2015 OBJECTIVE TSW investigate the role of correlation in statistics. EVERYONE needs a graphing calculator. DUE NOW –Gummi.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081822/5697bfa71a28abf838c98c07/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Suppose we found the age and weight of a sample of 10 adults.
Create a scatterplot of the data below.
Is there any relationship between the age and weight of these adults?
Age 24 30 41 28 50 46 49 35 20 39
Wt 256 124 320 185 158 129 103 196 110 130
NO

Now suppose we found the height and weight of a sample of 10 adults.
Create a scatterplot of the data below.
Is there any relationship between the height and weight of these adults?
Ht 74 65 77 72 68 60 62 73 61 64
Wt 256 124 320 185 158 129 103 196 110 130
Is it positive or negative? Weak or strong?YES
POSITIVE ????????

The closer the points in a scatterplot are to a straight
line - the stronger the relationship.
The farther away from a straight line – the weaker the relationship

Identify as having a positive association, a negative association, or no association.

Correlation Coefficient (r)-• A quantitative assessment of the strength
& direction of the linear relationship between bivariate, quantitative data
• Pearson’s sample correlation is used most• parameter - r (rho)• statistic - r

Calculate r. Interpret r in context.
Speed Limit (mph) 55 50 45 40 30 20
Avg. # of accidents (weekly)
28 25 21 17 11 6
There is a strong, positive, linear relationship between speed limit and average number of accidents per week.
r = 0.9963586779

Moderate CorrelationStrong correlation
Properties of r(correlation coefficient)
• Legitimate values of r exist in the interval [-1,1].

The value of r does not depend on the unit of measurement for either variable.
x (in mm) 12 15 21 32 26 19 24
y 4 7 10 14 9 8 12
Find r.
Change to cm & find r.
The correlations are the same.

x 12 15 21 32 26 1924
y 4 7 10 14 9 812
Find r.Switch x & y and find r.
The value of r does not depend on which of the two variables is labeled x and which is labeled y.
The correlations are the same.

r is a measure of the extent to which x & y are linearly related.
A value of r close to zero does not rule out any strong relationship between x and y.
r = 0, but there is a definite relationship!
