Reading a Weak Positive Coefficient

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

An r of +0.12 is positive in direction and weak in strength, describing a relationship most individual cases will not follow.

Show

Hours of background music and test scores correlate at +0.12, and most students depart from that pattern.

Watch for

A weak correlation can still be statistically significant in a large sample. Strength and significance are separate readings.
