The video tutorial explains Pearson's product moment correlation coefficient, represented by 'r', used to measure the strength of a relationship between two variables. It covers how to interpret R values, ranging from -1 to 1, indicating perfect negative to perfect positive correlations. The tutorial also discusses the limitations of R values, emphasizing their applicability to linear relationships and the impact of outliers. Practical guidance on calculating R values using a calculator is provided, along with exercises to practice identifying R values from scatter plots.

What does Pearson's product moment correlation coefficient measure?

• The average of two variables

• The strength of a relationship between two variables

• The sum of two variables

• The difference between two variables
