• Consists of a set of ordered pairs
• Indicates both the magnitude and direction of the relationship between variables
• Range is from -1.0 to +1.0

Consider these --- A correlation exists between:
• The total amount of losses in a fire and the number of firemen that were putting out the fire
• Cigarette smokers and lower GPAs
• The number of churches in a city and amount of alcohol consumed

Squared deviation scores
EX2 = 1000 (Sum of the squared deviation scores)
EX2/N = 200 (the variance or s2)
200 = 14.14 (standard deviation)s2 = standard deviation or s
Mean of the sum of the squared deviation scores
