Task 5

A. True or False
1. F. A high positive correlation between two variables does not necessarily imply that one variable
causes a predictable change in the other variable. A positive correlation indicates that as your X
variable increases, you can expect your Y variable to also increase.
2. F. The Pearson r is commonly used to measure the linear correlation between two quantitative
variables. It is suitable for interval or ratio scale data.
3. T
4. T
5. T
6. F. Direct relationships and inverse relationships behave differently, and their strength cannot be
generalized as always stronger or weaker.
7. T
8. T
9. F. The magnitude or strength of the relationship is determined by the absolute value of the
correlation coefficient.
10. T

B. Computation

Grade 9 Data Sets

1. Null hypothesis: There is no significant correlation between the midterm and final examination
scores of grade 9 students.

Midterm Scores (X) Final Scores (Y)

77 82 Grade 9
Finals Examination Scores (Y)

50 66 100
90
71 78 80
71 34 70
81 47 60

94 85 40
96 99 30
30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100
99 99
Midterm Examination Scores (X)
67 68

Interpretation: The graph represents that Midterm scores and Final Scores of grade 9 students are
positively correlated.
2. Computation of r

n ( Σ xy )−(Σ x )(Σ y ) 9 ( 53224 )−(706)(658) r = 479016−464548

14468
r=

r =0.57
Interpretation: Since the value of r is 0.57, the midterm and final examination scores of
grade 9 is moderately correlated with each other.

 Decision: H0 is accepted since t = 1.839 < t0.05 = 1.895

Conclusion: Hence, we conclude that Midterm and Final scores of grade 9 are
not linearly related.

Grade 12 Data Set

1. Null hypothesis: There is no significant correlation between the final scores in Economics and
Anthropology of grade 12 students.

Interpretation: The graph represents that Final Scores of Grade 12 in Economics and
Anthropology are positively correlated.

2. Computation of r

r =0. 89
 Interpretation: Since the value of r is 0.89, the final scores in Economics and
Anthropology of grade 12 is highly correlated with each other.

Conclusion: Hence, we conclude that Anthropology and Economics of grade 12

are linearly related.
