le of 68 people take two surveys. The first survey yields a higher score the more extroverted a person is. The second survey yields a higher score the more satisfied a person is with their life. What statistics should you use to determine if scores on these two surveys are related to each other
The statistics that should be used to determine if scores on these two surveys are related to each other is referred to as correlation.
