    The results shown on the graph show that there is a strong positive correlation between the average rate of conductivity and the surface area: volume ratio. As the surface area of the Agar cube increases‚ the rate of conductivity will steadily increase‚ too. The trend line of the graph shows as an exponential graph because at one point there will be no more conductivity due to too small or too big Agar cubes. A difference can be seen in the average rate of conductivity depending on surface area

In this article‚ we argue that because Pearson ’s correlation is composed of three distinct components (slope‚ error variance‚ and variance of A") it is better to look at judgments as a function of these components rather than as a function of Pearson ’s correlation. These three components of Pearson ’s correlation and presentation format (graphical and tabular) were manipulated factorially in

Correlation coefficient When we need to test the relationship between 2 quantitative variables‚ we use correlation coefficient and it measured by standardized covariance measure and investigates linear dependence. Before doing this‚ it is better to first make a scatterplot to check the outliers and linearity then get the idea about the nature and strength relationship. Next‚ we should calculate the r for correlation coefficient of variation‚ which measures
