Question 1

What does a positive covariance indicate?

  • Variables increase together
  • Variables decrease together
  • No relationship

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how both variables interact.

Question 2

The correlation coefficient can only be found between which two values?

  • -1 and 0
  • 0 and 1
  • -1 and 1

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider two datasets: A = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50} and B = {5, 15, 25, 35, 40}. Calculate the covariance and correlation. Discuss their implications.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Don't forget to calculate means first and standard deviations while solving.

Question 2

You are analyzing the height and weight of a sample of plants. The covariance between height and weight is found to be positive. What does this suggest about their relationship, and how might environmental factors play a role?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the biological growth environments that affect both height and weight.
