Overview
Defined: The measure of the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two
variables.
Variables: IV is continuous, DV is continuous
Relationship: Relationship amongst variables
Example: Relationship between height and weight.
Assumptions: Normality. Linearity.

Strength: ranges from 0 to 1 (or -1)Direction: positive or negative

Correlation Coefficient
• A measure of degree of relationship.• Based on covariance
– Measure of degree to which large scores go with large scores, and small scores with small scores
• Covariance Formula = Covxy = Σ(X-X)(Y-Y)
• Correlation Formula = r = Covxy
(SSx)(SSy)
