    I attached two files. 7. The figure below has six scatter diagrams for hypothetical data. The correlation coefficients, in scrambled order, are: -0.85 -0.38 -1.00 0.06 0.97 0.62 Match the scatter diagrams with the correlation coefficients. 9. Find the correlation coefficient for each of the three data sets shown be

    Significance of Correlation Coefficient: CIA Data

    See attached data file. Use the attached CIA Economic and Demographic data report on 46 countries. Take the variables literacy rate, population, and GDP for each country, and compute the correlation among variables. In other words, find the correlation between literacy and pupulation, literacy and GDP, and population and GDP.

    Do you think there is a correlation between CEO salaries and the degree of success of a company? If you were to take a sample of companies with comparable size, market capitalization, and product category, and plot CEO salaries against the net profit of their respective companies, do you expect to find a linear correlation between the two? Explain

    correlation between self esteem and shyness

    A researcher finds a correlation between self esteem and shyness is -0.50, which is significant for his sample. Interpret this correlation. What does a correlation coefficient tell us? Why are correlation coefficients useful when assessing reliability? What are the 2 ways in which researchers assess the reliability of th

    Correlation between average income in states with foreign born immigrants

    For each of the fifty states if you look at the state average income and the percentage of people in that state who are foreign-born immigrants, you will see a positive correlation. Does this mean immigrants tend to earn more than other people? Or does it mean immigrants improve a state's economy? If not, what could explain t

    Diversified Portfolio, Correlation, Interest and Inflation

    1) A portfolio with a correlation of +1 is not a well-diversified portfolio. What must you do as an investor to structure a portfolio with negative correlation? 2) What macroeconomic variable do you believe has the greatest impact on interest rates? Inflation? Briefly explain. 3) Compare and contrast the Capital Asset Pri

    Pearson and Spearman correlations with opposite signs

    Give an example of two random variables (can be discrete or continuous) whose Spearman correlation is positive but whose Pearson correlation is negative. Similarly show two random variables whose Pearson correlation is positive but whose Spearman correlation is negative.

    One-half of the correlation table

    **See Attached Spreadsheet** This correlation table only shows one-half of the pair-wise comparisons between these five measures. For example, it shows that the correlation between the 10-year rates of growth in sales and cash flow is 0.793 but does not show the corresponding correlation between the 10-year rates of growth in c
