14: Correlation - Powering Silicon Valley
Page (C:\data\StatPrimer\ )14: CorrelationIntroduction | Scatter Plot | The Correlational Coefficient | Hypothesis Test | Assumptions | An Additional ExampleIntroduction Correlation quantifies the extent to which two quantitative variables, X and Y, go together. When high values of Xare associated with high values of Y, a positive Correlation exists. When high values of X are associated with lowvalues of Y, a negative Correlation data set. We use the data set to illustrate correlational methods. In this cross-sectionaldata set, each observation represents a neighborhood. The X variable is socioeconomic status measured as thepercentage of children in a neighborhood receiving free or reduced-fee lunches at school. The Y variable is bicyclehelmet use measured as the percentage of bicycle riders in the neighborhood wearing helmets.
