Question

What's wrong? Each of the following statements contains a blunder. Explain in each case what is wrong.

There is a high correlation between the age of American workers and their
occupation."

We found a high correlation (r = 1.39) between students' ratings of faculty
teaching and ratings made by other faculty members."

The correlation between the gender of a group of students and the color
of their cell phone was r = 0.28".

Definition Definition Relationship between two independent variables. A correlation tells the degree to which variables move in relation to each other. When two sets of data are related to each other, there is a correlation between them.
