Question

Calculate the correlation coefficient r, letting Row 1 represent the x-values and Row 2 the y-values. Then calculate it again, letting Row 2 represent the x-values and
Row 1 the y-values. What effect does switching the variables have on?

Answer 1

Answer:

A.) r = -0.3669

B.) r = -0.3669

C.) there is no change in the value of r

Step-by-step explanation:

Row 1 : 20, 21, 37, 48, 56, 63, 72

Row 2: 177, 158, 164, 171, 129, 186, 134

A.) Taking Row 1 values as X. And row 2 values as Y.

Regression equation using the correlation Coefficient calculator :

r = -0.3669

B) Taking Row 1 values as Y. And row 2 values as Y.

Regression equation using the correlation Coefficient calculator :

r = -0.3669

C.) the correlation does not change.
