Reading a Weak Positive Coefficient
Captions available
The idea
An r of +0.12 is positive in direction and weak in strength, describing a relationship most individual cases will not follow.
In practice
Hours of background music and test scores correlate at +0.12, and most students depart from that pattern.
Where people slip
A weak correlation can still be statistically significant in a large sample. Strength and significance are separate readings.
