To compute r, the form of the relationship must be non-linear. If you correlate two quantitative variables, called “x” and “y,” changing the units of measurement for “x” and “y” will lead the correlation to change. A very strong relationship between variables can result in a value of r that is larger than 1.

The following statement contains an error. Choose the statement that best explains the error. "The correlation between shoe size and height is 0.87 inches" A. Correlation requires that both of the variables be categorical B. When stating the correlation coefficient, one must state whether it is a positive or negative relationship C. This statement does not tell us whether or not shoe size is correlated with height D. When reporting correlation, one does not report units because correlation has no units E. There is no error in this statement
B.) would you describe this relationship as “positive correlation”, “negative correlation “or “no correlation”?

A study by Judge and Cable (2010) suggests that there is a positive relationship between weight and income for a group of men. The following data is similar to what was collected in the study. To simplify the weight variable, the men are categorized into five categories that measure actual weight relative to height from 1=thinnest to 5=heaviest. Income is recorded as thousands earned annually. Weight (X) Income (Y) 4 151 5 88 3 52 2 73 1 49 3 92 1 56 5 143 a. Calculate the Pearson correlation for these data. b. Is the correlation statistically significant? Use a two-tailed test with a=.05.

A pediatrician wants to determine the relation that exists between a child's height (x) and head circumference (y). She randomly selects 11 children from her practice and measures their height and head circumference in inches. She finds that the correlation is 0.483 and the regression equation is y=0.442x+3.07What proportion of the variation in head circumference can be explained by the variation in the values of height? %Report answer as a percentage accurate to one decimal place.
