1 When using the f-statistic for hypothesis testing of the variance, which sample variance is the numerator and which sample variance is the denominator?
Numerator: Variance among the sample means
Denominator: Within sample variance
2. How do you interpret the linear correlation coefficient?
When one variable increases as the other increases the correlation is positive; when one decreases as the other increases it is negative. The complete absence of correlation is represented by 0.
The primary measure of linear correlation is the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient (which is symbolized by the lower-case Roman letter r). The value of r ranges in value from r=+1.0 for a perfect positive correlation to r= -1.0 for a perfect ...
