Overview
Linear Correlation is the study of the relationship between two variables that change simultaneously. In real life, many variables are interdependent — rainfall and crop yield, income and expenditure, price and demand. This chapter introduces the concept of correlation, its types, methods of measure
Key Concepts
Correlation is the simultaneous change
Correlation is the simultaneous change in the values of two variables due to a direct or indirect cause-effect relationship. It is classified into two
A scatter diagram is a graphical
A scatter diagram is a graphical method where ordered pairs (X, Y) are plotted on a graph. The pattern of points reveals the nature and approximate st
Karl Pearson's method gives the exact
Karl Pearson's method gives the exact numerical measure of correlation. The correlation coefficient r is defined as: **Main Formula:** r = Cov(X,Y) /
Understanding these properties helps in solving
Understanding these properties helps in solving problems faster and verifying results. **Property 1: Range of r** −1 ≤ r ≤ 1 The value of r always li
After calculating r
After calculating r, it is essential to interpret it correctly. **Interpretation Table:** | Value of r | Interpretation | |---|---| | r = +1 | Perfe
