  1. Pearson’s Linear Correlation Coefficient x y 2 5 8 7 5 6 3 4 6 8 • Given: At a concert, the number of tattoos, x, and the number of piercings, y, that a person had was recorded: • Find: The linear correlation coefficient, r

  2. The Formula SS(xy) r = SS(x) • SS(y)  • The value of Pearson’s linear correlation coefficient, r, is found using formula 3.2: Note: The formula for r uses the 3 SS values found as preliminary calculations If you do not know the values of SS(xy), SS(x) and SS(y), you need to obtain them before continuing (See Animated Tutorial “Bivariate Data - Preliminary Calculations”for assistance in completing these preliminary calculations) • Once you have the values of SS(xy), SS(x) and SS(y), you are prepared to proceed with the calculations of r

  3. Calculating r SS(xy) 12 r = = SS(x) • SS(y) (22.8) • (10)   12 12 r = 0.79 = = = 0.7947 228 15.099669  • The preliminary calculations yielded: SS(x) = 22.8 SS(y) = 10 SS(xy) = 12 0.7947 Notes: 1) Do not use rounded values for the SS values 2) Round only when the calculation is completed 3) Typically, r is rounded to the nearest hundredth
