Correlations: Relationship, Strength, & Direction
• Scatterplots are used to plot correlational data– It displays the extent that two variables are
related to one another

Relationship Strength
• The strength of a relationship between two variables is on a scale from -1 to 1– Stronger relationships are closer to -1 or 1– Weaker relationships are closer to 0

Linear and Nonlinear Relationships
• Linear relationships are best described by a straight line

Nonlinear Relationships
• Nonlinear relationships are best described by another type of curve

Outliers
• Outliers are scores that are very different from the rest of the data
• They can dramatically impact the relationship between two variables
