Online class for November 12, 2009

This is an extra credit assignment.  It is not required, but it will help you learn about correlations. If you complete the assignment, it will be worth up to 3 extra points on the next exam.

First, click on the "Correlation links" page and try out some of the exercises.  Before long, you should be able to see a scatterplot and "guesstimate" the direction and degree of a correlation.

Second, provide three original examples of bivariate correlations representing any three of the following:

bullet

a positive linear correlation

bullet

a negative linear correlation

bullet

a curvilinear correlation (u-shaped, inverted-U, nonmonotonic, etc.)

bullet

no correlation

For each correlation, identify the independent variable (X axis,  the dependent variable (Y axis), and create a hypothetical scatterplot to illustrate the correlation. This doesn't have to be a work of art.

The assignment is due on November 17.
