What are Advantages to Correlation study?
An advantage of using a correlational study is that it allows you to investigate variables that cannot be directly manipulated.
Is there negative correlation between weight and distance walked on an average day?
That's a question that can only really be answered via a study. Take a random sample of people (from your school for example) and plot their weight against their average daily walking distance (you may have to make your subjects carry a pedometer during the study period). Do you see a negative relationship on the graph?As a second step, calculate the correlation coefficient. As negative correlation gets stronger the correlation coefficient will get closer to -1.
What is a correlation variable?
Any variable can be a correlation variable. In some cases there may be no apparent correlation but that, in itself, that means nothing. For example, the x and y coordinates in the equation of a circle (or any symmetric shape) are not correlated. On the other hand, there is a pretty good correlation between my age and the number of cars in the world.A correlation variable is simply a variable that you study to see if changes in the variable that you are interested in is, in any way, related to changes in the correlation variable, and to get some idea of the degree to which they move in line.
What is a sample correlation?
If measurements are taken for two (or more) variable for a sample , then the correlation between the variables are the sample correlation. If the sample is representative then the sample correlation will be a good estimate of the true population correlation.
What is a Correlation coefficient of 0.00457?
Evidence that there is no correlation.
