The document explains correlation analysis, focusing on the relationship between two numerical variables using the population correlation coefficient (ρ) and sample correlation coefficient (r). It details the interpretation of various correlation strengths, an example concerning job performance and salary of engineers, and the process for hypothesis testing to determine the significance of the observed relationship. The findings indicate a very high positive correlation (r = 0.949) between job performance and salary, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis at a 0.05 significance level.
