Question

An experimenter conducted a study of the relation of size in a particular species of bird to behavioral displays of dominance. The results for the first four birds observed were as follows:

Bird Size: 14 18 14 10
Bird Behavior: 74 82 74 70

Required:
a. Change the variable names to Bird Size and Bird Behavior
b. Make a scatter plot.
c. Compute the correlation

Answer 1

Scatterplot is attached below

Correlation Coefficient = 0.0973

Explanation:

Bird Size: 14 18 14 10

Bird Behavior: 74 82 74 70

The Correlation Coefficient, R = 0.973 ; which gives a very strong positive correlation between variable, x bird size and y, Bird Behavior.
