Correlation near 1 means tight clustering, and correlation near 0 means loose clustering. $r$ is -1 if the points are on a line with negative slope, $r$ is positive 1 if the points are on a line with a positive slope. As $|r|$ gets closer to 1, the line points cluster more tightly around a line. +If $x$ is above average, we expect the $y$ to be above average if there's a strong correlation coefficient ## Calculating $r$ by hand Put the $x$ values into $L1$, put the $y$ values into $L2$. @@ -41,3 +42,5 @@ https://www.thoughtco.com/how-to-calculate-the-correlation-coefficient-3126228 | -- | -- | | $r$ | Correlation Coefficient | | Linear Correlation | Measures the strength of a line | + +(Chapter 9, ST) \ No newline at end of file
