Pearson’s Correlation The Pearson correlation coefficient is the most widely used for summarizing the relation ship between two variables that have a straight line or linear ship with each other. The possible value of range from -1 to +1 only

Pearson’s Correlation Solution
8
Pearson’s Correlation This indicates a relatively large positive relationship between the two variables.
9
Pearson’s Correlation Test of coefficient When computing a correlation coefficient, it is also useful to test the correlation coefficient for significance. This provides the researcher with some idea of how large a correlation coefficient must be before considering it to demonstrate that there really is a relationship between two variables. It may be that two variables are related by chance.
10
Pearson’s Correlation The sampling distribution of Pearson correlation is approximately t distribution with Degree of freedom = n - 2 And t can be calculated as:
11
Pearson’s Correlation At alpha = 0.05 test if there is a positive relation between Y and X in previous example Tabulated t at df = 12 – 2 = 10
12
Pearson’s Correlation Then we reject the null hypothesis so that there is a positive relation between Y and X.
13
Pearson’s Correlation Scatter diagram: A scatter diagram is a diagram that shows the values of two variables X and Y, from this scatter diagram we can conclude the relation between these variables. In the bellow diagram we can see the relation between Y and X variable.
