Sampling Distribution of r: Video

Home Specialization Programs Help

Now, we'll talk about how the shape of the sampling distribution of Pearson correlation deviates from normality and then discusses how to transform \(r\) to a normally distributed quantity. Then, we will discuss how to calculate the probability of obtaining an \(r\) above a specified value.
