Correlation coefficient:
The value of correlation coefficient (r) ranges from –1 to 1.
The value of r closer to –1 or 1 indicates that there is strong correlation between two quantitative variables, whereas, the value of r closer to 0 indicates that there is weak or no correlation between variables.
The positive value of correlation indicates that both the variables (say x and y) are in same direction, whereas, the negative value of correlation indicates that both the variables are in opposite direction.
Match the following:
In scatter plot 1, the variables x and y are in opposite direction and it is approximately linear. Therefore, it has highest negative correlation. Among the given correlation values, it is clear that the r value for the scatter plot 1 is –0.998.
Similarly, by comparing the scatter plots with the r values, the scatterplots are matched with their respective r values as shown below:
Scatterplot 1, r = –0.998
Scatterplot 2, r = –0.353
Scatterplot 3, r = 0.998
Scatterplot 4, r = 0.723
Scatterplot 5, r = 0.353

Unusual points Each of the four scatterplots that follow shows a cluster of points and one “stray” point. For each, answer these questions:
1) In what way is the point unusual? Does it have high leverage, a large residual, or both?
2) Do you think that point is an influential point?
3) If that point were removed, would the correlation be- come stronger or weaker? Explain.
4) If that point were removed, would the slope of the re- gression line increase or decrease? Explain

Predicting Land Value Both figures concern the assessed value of land (with homes on the land), and both use the same data set. (a). Which do you think has a stronger relationship with value of the land-the number of acres of land or the number of rooms n the homes? Why? b. Il you were trying to predict the value of a parcel of land in e arca (on which there is a home), would you be able to te a better prediction by knowing the acreage or the num- ber of rooms in the house? Explain. (Source: Minitab File, Student 12. "Assess.")

Two scatterplots are shown below.
Scatterplot 1
A scatterplot has 14 points.
The horizontal axis is labeled "x" and has values from 30 to 110.
The vertical axis is labeled "y" and has values from 30 to 110.
The points are plotted from approximately (55, 60) up and right to approximately (95, 85).
The points are somewhat scattered.
Scatterplot 2
A scatterplot has 10 points.
The horizontal axis is labeled "x" and has values from 30 to 110.
The vertical axis is labeled "y" and has values from 30 to 110.
The points are plotted from approximately (55, 55) steeply up and right to approximately (70, 90), and then steeply down and right to approximately (85, 60).
The points are somewhat scattered.
Explain why it makes sense to use the least-squares line to summarize the relationship between x and y for one of these data sets but not the other.
Scatterplot 1 seems to show a relationship between x and y, while Scatterplot 2 shows a relationship between the two variables. So it makes sense to use the least squares line to summarize the relationship between x and y for the data set in , but not for the data set in .
