Pearson’s Correlation

The researchers took how many families enjoyed an activity to predict how much it helped/improve the parent and child relationship. Both variables were continuous which can be seen on a 0 – 10 scale. The findings from the data indicates that there is a strong positive correlation (r=0.68) between the families who enjoyed and felt that it improved their relationship. The families that enjoyed doing the activities together was related to improving their relationship. When compared to a larger population the researcher do not know if the results would be the same.
