### Variables

| Role     | Name       | Label                  | Range | MD     | Dataset |
|----------|------------|------------------------|-------|--------|---------|
| Correlate | CHILDS     | Number of children     | 0-8   | -1,9   | 1       |
| Correlate | AGE        | Age of respondent      | 18-89 | 0,98,99| 1       |
| Correlate | EDUCATION  | 4 years of college or not | 1-2   | 2      | 2       |
| Correlate | PROTESTANT | Other                  | 0-1   | 2      | 2       |

### Correlation Matrix

The correlation matrix details the relationships between the variables: CHILDS, AGE, EDUCATION, and PROTESTANT. Each cell in the table represents the correlation coefficient between pairs of variables:

|           | CHILDS | AGE   | EDUCATION | PROTESTANT |
|-----------|--------|-------|-----------|------------|
| **CHILDS**     | 1.00   | 0.41  | -0.13     | 0.11       |
| **AGE**        | 0.41   | 1.00  | -0.01     | 0.14       |
| **EDUCATION**  | -0.13  | -0.01 | 1.00      | -0.08      |
| **PROTESTANT** | 0.11   | 0.14  | -0.08     | 1.00       |

*Correlations Visualized:*
- Positive correlations are highlighted in shades of red.
- Negative correlations are highlighted in shades of blue.
- Stronger correlations are indicated with deeper shades.

Expert Solution
Introduction

The correlation is used to estimate whether there is any significance relationship between the two numerical variable. It is denoted as r and correlation value ranges from -1 to +1. When the correlation value is 1 or +1, there exist perfect positive and negative correlation. When the correlation is 0, there exist no correlation.
