Determining the strength of correlation

Reference no: EM1395338

Determining the strength of a correlation is very important to determine how well one variable can predict another. To determine the strength of a correlation, we have to calculate the correlation coefficient, r.

Explain how people's scores on two variables can be used to calculate r.
