When r is close to +1 the variables have a positive correlation between them; as the x-values increase, the corresponding y-values increase. There is also a strong linear correlation or relationship between the variables, when the value of r is close to +1.

Correlation coefficients represents the WEAKEST relationship?

A correlation coefficient represents the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables. A correlation coefficient close to zero indicates a weak relationship between the variables, where changes in one variable do not consistently predict changes in the other. However, it is important to note that a correlation coefficient of zero does not necessarily mean there is no relationship between the variables, as non-linear relationships may exist.


What is a linear relationship?

A linear relationship exists between two variables if, when you plot their values on a coordinate system, you get a straight line, or values that would "average out" to be a straight line. The line cannot be perfectly horizontal or vertical. There are many relationships among variables that give rise to curved plots as well. The variables in the following example are not independent of one another, but serve as an easy way to imagine the plots described above. The variables are age (our sample will be 1,000 children currently in school ages 7 to 14) and years of school completed. If we plot individuals by age along the X axis, and then go up and plot their completed years of school along the Y axis, we will have 1,000 points on the grid that will be reasonably close to a straight line. Eliminate children who have repeated a grade, and it surely will be very close to a straight line. The variables have a linear relationship.


If two variables are highly correlated the correlation coefficient will be at or near zero-true or false?

If two variables are highly correlated, the Pearson correlation will be close to -1.0 or +1.0. A correlation of zero shows no relationship.


What does it means The strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables?

The direction of a linear relationship is positive when the two variables increase together and decrease together. The direction is negative if an increase in one variable is accompanied by a decrease in the other. The strength of the relationship tells you, in the context of a scatter plot of the two variables, how close the observations are to the line representing the linear relationship. There are various very closely related measures: regression coefficient or product moment correlation coefficient (PMCC) are commonly used. These can take any value between -1 and +1. A value of -1 represents a perfect negative relationship, +1 represents a perfect positive relationship. A value of 0 represents no linear relationship (there may be a non-linear one, though). Values near -1 or +1 are said show a strong linear relationship, values near 0 a weak one. There is no universal rule about when a relation goes from being strong to moderate to none.


In a correlation coefficient the difference between r and r squared?

r is correlation and can be positive or negative. If you want an analogy, consider it like the slope of a line. If the slope is negative, the line slopes downward and therelationship between the two variables (x & y) are inverse. That is, as x increases, y will decrease. If r is positive, then the line slopes upward and as x increases so does y. Now if x equals or is close to zero, there is no significant relationship between the two variables ... as x increases y does not change or fluctuates between positive and negative changes. The closer r is to +1 or -1, the stronger the relationship between x and y.

Which correlation coefficient indicates the weakest relationship between variables?

Pearson's Product Moment Correlation Coefficient indicates how strong the relationship between variables is. A PMCC of zero or very close would mean a very weak correlation. A PMCC of around 1 means a strong correlation.


What is a measure of how strongly two variables are related to one another?

A measure of how strongly two variables are related to one another is called the correlation coefficient. It quantifies the degree to which changes in one variable are associated with changes in another, typically ranging from -1 to 1. A value close to 1 indicates a strong positive relationship, while a value close to -1 indicates a strong negative relationship. A value around 0 suggests little to no linear relationship between the variables.

A general pattern of a scatter plot?

There is no such thing as a general pattern. Depending on the variables and the relationship between them, you can have points all over the plot, exactly on a straight line or a curve, or close to such a line or curve.


A correlation coefficient represents what two things?

A correlation coefficient represents both the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables. A value close to +1 indicates a strong positive correlation, where as one variable increases, the other also increases. Conversely, a value close to -1 indicates a strong negative correlation, where one variable increases while the other decreases. A value around 0 suggests little to no linear relationship between the variables.


What are the limitations of system analysis?

System analysis can not completely alter how people in the decision-making process relate. Also, it is only effective where a close relationship exists between decision-maker and analyst.
