Bowling Score 51 55 57 60 65 55 52 54 59

Predict a possible correlation coefficient for the data in the table and explain why you think your prediction is a good value for the data.

i need help understanding not just the answer someone please explain !!

Answer 1

well basically you need to show that there is a strong connection between the 2 sets of data, height and score.

so for me, the easiest thing to do is put the data into an excel spreadsheet and do a scatter plot.

but you need to do a scatter plot 1st before making the prediction of the correlation coefficient.

then from there you would be able to see the correlation (connection between) height and score.

is it strong or weak... depending on how spread the points are

is it positive or negative.

hope it makes sense

Answer 2

yes it does thank you!!
