This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear learners, can continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities, questions, directions, exercises, and discussions are carefully stated for you to understand each lesson.
Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you step-by-step as you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.
Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on lessons in each SLM. This will tell you if you need to proceed on completing this module or if you need to ask your facilitator or your teacher’s assistance for better understanding of the lesson. At the end of each module, you need to answer the post-test to self-check your learning. Answer keys are provided for each activity and test. We trust that you will be honest in using these.
Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on any part of this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises and tests. And read the instructions carefully before performing each task.
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you master computing Pearson’s sample correlation coefficient r. The scope of this module permits its use in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The concepts are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the learning area.
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. define Pearson’s sample correlation coefficient r;
2. state the formula for Pearson’s sample correlation coefficient r;
3. compute the Pearson’s sample correlation coefficient r; and
4. apply and solve real-life problems using Pearson’s sample correlation coefficient.
Are you ready now to study about the calculation of Pearson’s sample correlation coefficient using your ADM module? Good luck and may you find it helpful.
