The linear correlation coefficient: -0.23785

Result: : -0.23785 is the correlation coefficient. The negative correlation shows a slight

inverse linear relationship among BMI and HDL cholesterol.

Mathematical relationship between BMI and HDL cholesterol: As evidenced by the

negative correlation value of -0.23785, BMI and HDL cholesterol have a modest negative

linear connection. The slight negative correlation between BMI and levels of HDL

cholesterol is suggested by this finding. Higher BMIs are associated with lower HDL

cholesterol levels. Please notice that this association is weak.

The correlation coefficient is 0.23785, close to zero. A weak link is suggested by this finding.

A correlation value of 1 or -1 indicates a stronger connection. The coefficient is closer to 0,

suggesting a weak link in this case.

When BMI grows, HDL cholesterol drops, as seen by the negative correlation coefficient.

This connection is weak, however.

Based on sample data, the equation above shows the relationship between BMI and HDL

cholesterol levels. BMI measurements may be used to predict HDL cholesterol levels using

the equation. The negative correlation (-0.5513) implies that BMI and HDL cholesterol are

inversely related. This confirms your correlation coefficient interpretation. A predictive linear

regression model is shown. The summary output's low R-squared value (0.0583) indicates a

poor relationship between the variables.
