1. Randomly selected jobs are ranked according to salary and stress.

Job Salary Rank Stress Rank

Doctor        3        6
Teacher        4        3
Lawyer        2        2
Police Officer        8        10
Bank Officer        10         8
College Dean        5        4
Safety Inspection
       9        9
Officer
Pilot        1        1
Zoologist        6        7
Hotel Manager        7        5

Answer:

rs=     1 -    6(ƩD2)      
                 N (N2 - 1)

Job Salary Rank Stress Rank D D2

Doctor 3 6 -3 9
Teacher 4 3 1 1
Lawyer 2 2 0 0
Police Officer 8 10 -2 4
Bank Officer 10 8 2 4
College Dean 5 4 1 1
Safety Inspection 0 0
9 9
Officer
Pilot 1 1 0 0
Zoologist 6 7 -1 1
Hotel Manager 7 5 2 4

Total 23

rs=     1 -    6(ƩD2)      

                 N (N2 - 1)

rs=     1 -     6(23)        = 1 -     (138)       = 1 -  138  = 1 -  0.1393

                 10 (102-1)              10(99)               990

rs=    0.8607

The calculated correlation coefficient is positive. Therefore it implies that there is

a direct relationship between the salary and stress rank. The magnitude of
correlation coefficient is 0.8607 which means that there is a Very High Correlation
between the two.

2. The data below shows the height and weight of 10 basketball players.

Player Height Weight

1     65     65
2     67     71
3     70     70
4     64     64
5     71     69
6     78     70
7     66     66
8     69     65
9     72     71
10     70     68

Answer:

Player x y x2 y2 xy
1 65 65 4225 4225 4225
2 67 71 4489 5041 4757
3 70 70 4900 4900 4900
4 64 64 4096 4096 4096
5 71 69 5041 4761 4899
6 78 70 6084 4900 5460
7 66 66 4356 4356 4356
8 69 65 4761 4225 4485
9 72 71 5184 5041 5112
10 70 68 4900 4624 4760
TOTAL 692 679 48036 46169 47051

Solving for the correlation Coefficient (r )

r=           N (Ʃxy) - (Ʃx)(Ʃy)_______

       √[N(Ʃx2)-(Ʃx)2] [N(Ʃy2)-(Ʃy)2]

r=    10(47051)-(692)(679)              
     √ [10(48036)-(692)2] [10(46169)-(679)2]

r=            470510-469868                
      √(480360 - 478864) (461690 - 461041)

r =              642          =       642        

       √(1496) (649)          √970904

r = 0.65154

The calculated correlation coefficient is positive. Therefore it implies that there is

an direct relationship between the height and weight of relationships. The
magnitude of the correlation coefficient is only 0.65154 which means that there
is a High Correlation between the two variables.
