1.Purpose
2.Definition formula
3.Calculating SP ( compared with SS)
4.Interpretation of Pearson's correlation
correlation≠causal relationship
The range of scores in the data has a very large impact on the correlation.
Extraordinary values can have a very large effect on the correlation coefficient
Interpretation of the strength of the relationship should take into account r², not just r.
r>0.7 is highly correlated;
0.5<r<0.7 is moderately correlated;
The correlation is only statistically significant for r > 0.3.
