Group Activity
1.Based on the trend that was formed, what will be the
value of the variable y if the value of x is 15 in each
set?
2.For each set, what will happen to the value of the
variable y as x increases? Will it increase or
decrease?

 Pearson’s r
The Pearson correlation coefficient (r) is the
most common way of measuring a linear
correlation. It is a number between –1 and 1
that measures the strength and direction of
the relationship between two variables.

 How to interpret the result of Pearson’s r?

If the value of 0 < r < 1, the correlation is positive.

When one variable changes, the other variable
changes in the same direction.

If the value of -1 < r < 0, the correlation is negative.

When one variable changes, the other variable
changes in the opposite direction.

 How to interpret the result of Pearson’s r?

If the value of r = 0, there is no correlation. There is

no relationship exist between the variables.

 What is t-test?
T-test also called as Student’s t-test is an inferential
statistics that allows to test an assumption
applicable to a population, or simply, it allows to
use sample data to generalize an assumption to
an entire population.
