Question

A set of n = 15 pairs of scores (x and y values) has ssx = 4, ssy = 25, and sp = 6. what is the pearson correlation for these data? 6/100 6/10 6/(100/15)

Answer 1

We are given:

`SSx = 4`

`SSy=25`

`Sp=6`

We know that the Pearson's correlation coefficient is:

`r=\frac{S_(p)}{\sqrt{SS_(x) * SS_(y)} }`

`=(6)/(√(4 * 25) )`

`=(6)/(√(100) )`

`=(6)/(10)`

Therefore, the option 6/10 is correct
