Question 1196569: A researcher is analyzing the relationship between club-head speed of a golf club (measured in miles per hour, mph) and the distance (in yards) that the ball will travel. The researcher records these values for five shots made by the same golfer, with the same club on a single day with no wind. Note: values in red may change on subsequent attempts.
Club-head speed (mph) 105.2 102.2 104.1 101.6 105.5
Distance (yards) 251.3 264.1 274.2 266.5 277.9
Calculate the linear correlation coefficient. Round your answer to three digits after the decimal.

Hi
analyzing the relationship between club-head speed of a golf club (measured in miles per hour, mph) and the distance (in yards) that the ball will travel.
Calculate the linear correlation coefficient
105.2 251.3
102.2 264.1
104.1 274.2
101.6 266.5
105.5 277.9
Using Excel FUNCTION
=CORREL(A1:A5, B1:B5) for example
r = .060 (Rounded to three digits after the decimal)
Positive, however weak correlation between club speed and distance
Wish You the Best in your Studies.
