Part A

1. Define Correlation: Correlation is a statistical measure that describes the extent to which
two variables are related. It indicates whether an increase or decrease in one variable
corresponds to an increase or decrease in another variable .

2. Define Positive and Negative Correlation:

o Positive Correlation: When two variables move in the same direction. As one variable
increases, the other also increases, and vice versa .

o Negative Correlation: When two variables move in opposite directions. As one variable
increases, the other decreases, and vice versa .

3. Define r value: The r value, or correlation coefficient, quantifies the degree of correlation
between two variables. It ranges from -1 to +1:

o +1: Perfect positive correlation

o -1: Perfect negative correlation

o 0: No correlation [9]

4. List the Types of Relationships:

o Positive Correlation

o Negative Correlation

o No Correlation

o Non-linear Correlation

Part B

1. Explain Briefly About Scatter Plots with Examples: A scatter plot is a graphical
representation that shows the relationship between two numerical variables. Each point on
the scatter plot represents an observation in the dataset.

2. Example:

o Positive Correlation: A scatter plot showing the relationship between hours studied and
exam scores. As study hours increase, exam scores also increase.

o Negative Correlation: A scatter plot showing the relationship between the number of hours
spent watching TV and exam scores. As TV hours increase, exam scores decrease.

o No Correlation: A scatter plot showing the relationship between shoe size and exam scores.
There is no discernible pattern.

3. Scatter plots help in visualizing the strength and direction of the relationship between
variables, making it easier to identify patterns and correlations [7].

Scatter Plots: Explanation and Examples

A scatter plot is a type of data visualization that displays the relationship between two numerical
variables. Each point on the scatter plot represents an individual data point, with the x-axis
representing one variable and the y-axis representing the other. Scatter plots are useful for
identifying patterns, trends, and correlations between variables.

Key Features of Scatter Plots:

• Axes: The horizontal axis (x-axis) and vertical axis (y-axis) represent the two variables being
compared.

• Data Points: Each point on the plot corresponds to a pair of values from the dataset.

• Trend Line: Sometimes a line of best fit is added to show the overall direction of the data.

Examples:

1. Positive Correlation:

o Description: In a positive correlation, as one variable increases, the other variable


also increases.

o Example: A scatter plot showing the relationship between hours studied and exam
scores. As the number of hours studied increases, exam scores tend to increase.

o Visualization: !Positive Correlation

2. Negative Correlation:

o Description: In a negative correlation, as one variable increases, the other variable


decreases.

o Example: A scatter plot showing the relationship between the number of hours
spent watching TV and exam scores. As the number of hours spent watching TV
increases, exam scores tend to decrease.

o Visualization: !Negative Correlation

3. No Correlation:

o Description: In no correlation, there is no discernible pattern or relationship


between the two variables.

o Example: A scatter plot showing the relationship between shoe size and exam
scores. There is no clear pattern indicating that shoe size affects exam scores.

o Visualization: !No Correlation

Importance of Scatter Plots:

• Identifying Relationships: Scatter plots help in visualizing the strength and direction of the
relationship between variables.

• Detecting Outliers: They can reveal outliers or anomalies in the data.


• Predictive Analysis: By identifying trends, scatter plots can be used for predictive analysis.

Scatter plots are a fundamental tool in data analysis, providing a clear and intuitive way to explore
the relationships between variables. They are widely used in various fields, including economics,
biology, and social sciences, to make data-driven decisions.
