We wish to be able to quantify this relationship, measure its strength, developing equation for predicting scores, and an important aspect of correlation is how strong it is. The strength of a correlation is measured by the correlation coefficient, which is denoted by r (called Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient). The ρ symbol is also used to denote coefficient of correlation. In this chapter we also introduce regression, which will help us to find an objective way ...
