Question 885231: Please Help Thank You Very Much
For the 41 nations that participated in TIMMS, the correlation between the percentage of students who skipped class at least once in the past month and the mean score on the exam was - 0.52. Does this suggest there is a linear relation between attendance and achievement score? Write a sentence that explains what this result might mean. Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! we have a negative correlation(-0.52) which implies a negative relationship.
since the correlation(r) is not -1, this implies that the data does not lie on a straight line.
values of r < -0.5 are considered weak, since ours is -0.52 is close to being weak.
