Explain Graphically by drawing hypothetical disgrams when the coefficient of correlation between two variables is (a) perfect positive, (b) perfect Negative, (c) zero?

Expert Solution
Step 1

The degree or extent to which two variables are linearly related or associated, is called the correlation of the two variables.

The measure of correlation coefficient of X and Y two variable is 

rxy=1ni=1n(xi-x)(yi-y)1ni=1n(xi-x)21ni=1n(yi-y)2

where 

x=1ni=1nxi=mean of x variable

y=1ni=1nyi=mean of y variable

The value of rxy lies in the interval [-1,1]

 

Step 2

a) Perfect positive correlation:

If the value of rxy =1, then the two variables have perfect positive correlation, that is if one variable increases other increases. In that case the diagram of this two variables are following.
