[(-) if b is negative]
Predicted Score (outcome)
Dependent Variable

Regression Table
x I y I x2 I y2 I xy
Formula of a
a= (y)(x2) – (x) (xy)
——————————
N (x2) – (x)2
Formula of b
b= N (XY) - (X) (Y)
—————————
N (X2) - (X)2
The degree that describes the relationship between two sets of variables.
Correlation
The strength of a correlation is measured by?
Correlation Coefficient R
other term for R
Pearson Product Moment Correlation
Who developed Pearson Product Correlation?
Carl Pearson
Equation of r
r= (n(Σxy)-(Σx)(Σy))
____________________________________
(√[n[(Σx^2 )-(∑x)^2][n(Σy^2 )-(Σy)^2])
Correlation ranges from
-1 to 1 only
0.00 to +/- 0.19
No correlation exist
+/-0.20 to +/- 0.39
Slight correlation exist
+/- 0.40 to +/- 0.59
Substantial correlation exist
+/- 0.60 to +/- 0.79
Significant correlation exist
+/- 0.80 to +/- 0.99
Very significant correlation exist
+/- 1
Perfect correlation exist
to estimate roughly the relationship existing between two variables, by drawing a straight line intersecting as many points as possible in the graph.

ROI
An instrument that signifies ownership in a corporation and represents a claim on a share of a corporation’s assets and profits. Typically riskier and long-term investments.
Stock
An instrument that signifies ownership in a corporation and represents claim on a share of a corporation’s assets and profits. Stocks are typically riskier and long-term investments. Low risk
