what does a sample covariance of -5.12 mean about a scatterplot
Added by Juan Jos- G.
Step 1
It indicates the direction of the linear relationship between the two variables and ranges from negative infinity to positive infinity. A positive covariance indicates that the variables tend to move in the same direction, while a negative covariance indicates Show more…

What is a sampling distribution of a sample statistic?
a. Calculate the sample covariance of the following bivariate data set. b. Describe in words the information given to us by the sample covariance and by the sample correlation. Explain how the correlation gives us more precise information. c. Explain why the covariance is not a good measure of the strength of the linear relationship between the two variables. d. Sketch a scatterplot of a bivariate dataset with a correlation of 0.6. e. Sketch a scatterplot of a bivariate dataset with a correlation of -0.85.
