Statistical Correlation Teacher Resources

Middle and high schoolers use a spreadsheet to graph data. In this graphing instructional activity, learners determine how two parameters are correlated. They create a scatter plot graph using a computer spreadsheet.

Is 0.56 stronger than -0.78? Interpret the correlation coefficient as the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables. An algebra instructional activity introduces the correlation coefficient by estimating and...

How do you determine the correlation in a set of data? Plot the data, find the line of fit, then use that line to determine if the correlation is positive, negative, or no correlation. This tutorial demonstrates that when a line of fit...

You can use a scatter plot to determine if there is a positive, negative, or no correlation between the given data. After graphing data you need to find a line of fit, a line that best represents the data you've graphed. It will be the...

What does it mean when a scatter plot graph shows that there is no correlation? Does it have something to do with the slope of the line of fit? Yes, it certainly does have to do with the line of fit. If the slope of the line is zero,...

Organize your data on a graph. Use the data, pair them up as coordinate pairs, then graph them, resulting in a scatter plot. But how, you ask? Watch this tutorial to learn the step-by-step process needed to draw a scatter plot and...

Collect a variety of bivariate data. Groups determine sets of data that would provide a positive, negative, and no correlation. Team members gather their data through out the week. Scholars plot the data and determine the relationship...

Correlate education with unemployment rates. Individuals compare state and regional unemployment rates with education levels by calculating the correlation coefficient and analyzing scatter plots. Pupils begin by looking at regional data...

How does understanding correlate with instruction? A systematic lesson describes the different types of correlation as well as how to determine the strength of the correlation. After watching the video, learners complete practice...

Determine how close the line is to the scatter plot. Clear video instruction shows how to plot a scatter plot and find the best fit line using the linear regression function on a calculator. Pupils use the information from the calculator...

There's likely a strong correlation between watching the video and learning about causation. Scholars hear about different types of correlation and correlation coefficients through the informative YouTube video. They also see how...

Seeing is believing. Given several bivariate data sets, learners make scatter plots using the online SeeIt program to visualize the correlation. To get a more complete picture of the topic, they research their own data set and perform an...

If the y-value increases as the x-value increases then you have a positive correlation. Meaning that the line-of-fit has a positive slope.

If the y-value decreases as the x-value increases then you have a negative correlation. Meaning that the line-of-fit has a negative slope.

If the y-value decreases as the x-value increases then you have a negative correlation. Meaning that the line-of-fit has a negative slope.

Introduce the concept of a correlation coefficient using an interactive lesson. Learners begin by manipulating a correlation coefficient and watching a graph change to represent the new value. Questions help strengthen their...

Do women with college degrees get married later? Using a provided scatter plot of the percentage of women who earn bachelor's degrees and the median age at which women first get married over time, pupils conduct a linear regression...

After reading the first reference page about parallel structure using correlative conjunctions, young learners rewrite nine sentences with errors in parallelism. Even the strongest writers in your language arts class could benefit from...
