Ideas in this flowchart

  • Interpreting correlation between two variables
  • Correlation can have a positive or negative direction
  • Positive correlation means increases in one variable tend to accompany increases in the other
  • Negative correlation means increases in one variable tend to accompany decreases in the other
  • A scatterplot helps evaluate what the numerical value of r represents
  • The value of r may reflect a meaningful linear pattern
  • Unusual observations may affect the value of r
  • A strong correlation indicates an association
  • A strong correlation does not necessarily indicate causation

"Positive correlation means that increases in one variable tend to accompany increases in the other, while negative correlation means that increases in one tend to accompany decreases in the other. A scatterplot helps reveal whether the numerical value of r reflects a meaningful linear pattern or is being affected by unusual observations. A strong correlation indicates association, not necessarily causation."
