1
Consider the variables family income and family expenditure. Increase & decrease together Change in one variable is accompanied by change in the other variable Price and demand of a commodity are related variables When Price increases, demand decreases and vice versa
2
If the change in one variable is accompanied by a change in the other, then the variables are said to be correlated. Family Income & Family Expenditure are correlated Price and Demand are correlated
3
Correlation can tell you about the relationship between variables. It is used to understand: Whether the relationship is positive or negative The strength of the relationship In the case of family income & expenditure, they both increase and decrease together, so this is a positive correlation In the case of price and demand, if one increases, the other decreases, so this is a negative correlation
4
A “variable” is an attribute that can be measured One-variable data has measures for one attribute Recognize them when you see: Bar Graphs Circle Graphs Tally Charts One-variable data can be measured using: Mean, Median, Mode These are “Measures of Central Tendency”
6
Measures for 2 attributes Recognize them when you see Table of Values Ordered Pairs Scatter Plots Two-variable data can be analyzed by looking for a trend or pattern in the relationship. This trend may be: Linear Quadratic Exponential
