Question

What type of data set might create a correlation? (You can make up an actual data set of numbers or just generally describe what it would include.) NOTE: don't CONFUSE THIS WITH DISTRIBUTIONS! DISTRIBUTIONS AND CORRELATIONS ARE DIFFERENT!!

Answer 1

Correlation is known as a statistical technique which is used for measuring and describing the direction and strength of relationship between 2 variables.

Two scores are needed from same individuals in case of correlation.

These are normally described as X, Y. The pair of the scores is listed in a table or can be presented in scatterplot.
