Correlation Coefficient and Best Fit Line

A method used to find the line of best fit.

• Association

• Causation

• Line of Best Fit

• Linear Regression

Estimate the correlation coefficient

• r=-1

• r=1

• r=-0.5

• r=0.5

Estimate the correlation coefficient.

• r=0

• r=-1

• r=1

• r=2

Estimate the correlation coefficient.

• r=-1

• r=-0.5

• r=1

• r=0.5

Determine the Correlation Coefficient and decide whether it is weak, moderate, or strong.

• 0.07 weak

• -0.26 weak

• -0.26 moderate

• 0.07 strong

Determine the Correlation Coefficient and decide whether it is weak, moderate, or strong.

• -0.19 weak

• -0.19 moderate

• 0.04 weak

• 0.04 strong

Find the equation of the line of best fit for this table.

• y = -0.18x + 6.47

• y = 6.47x - 0.18

• y = 0.04x - 0.19

• y = -0.18x - 0.19

Find the equation of the line of best fit for this table.

• y = -2.28x + 51.08

• y = 51.08x - 2.28

• y = 0.06x - 0.26

• y = -2.28x - 0.26
