measure of the degree of correlation or interdependence between two variables. The value of the correlation coefficient can range between -1 and +1. A negative value of r indicates an inverse relationship; a positive value of r indicates a direct relationship; a zero value of r indicates that the two variables are independent of each other. The closer r is to +1 or -1, the stronger is the relationship between the two variables. For the given regression model, the correlation coefficient is very

research, in which “intervention by the researcher beyond that is required for measurements to determine the effect on another variable” (Cooper & Schindler, 2006, p. 709). The researchers placed the participants into teams, and the teams picked a topic taught in class, and create a proposal. In this paper, the attention is on the method, independent and dependent variable, observation techniques, and the sampling plan.

Correlation and Regression Correlation is the measure of two variables normally being x and y. X and y are normally variables of a bivariate distribution. Bivariate distribution (2 variables) for each unit observed having 2 separate and distinct measurements. If the value of one variable is related to the value of another, they are said to be correlated. There are five degrees of correlation that we use; 1. Positive – line goes in upwards direction 2. Negative – line goes in downward
