The correlation Coefficient is used to show the strength and type of relationship which exists between the dependent and independent variable. The correlation Coefficient value ranges from - 1, to 1. With values closer to either - 1 or 1 depicting a strong relationship while those closer to 0 represents weak relationship. And correlation Coefficient of 0 indicates that no relationship exiata at all. Depending in the sign, that is positive or negative, positive sign means positive relationship while a negative sign represents a negative association. Positive association is interpreted as, for every increase in A, Variable B also increase and vice versa. For negative association, When A increases, B decreases and vice versa
We have a right angled triangle with an opposite of 300.5 ft. (306 - 5.5) and an adjacent of 400 ft. Recalling SOH CAH TOA, tanθ = O/A. tan(θ) = 300.5/400. θ = tan^-1(300.5/400). θ = 36.9°.
