Document Summary

Measures of variation: variability has important social implications, zero variation: there is no dispersion; every family has an income of exactly. Express points or scores on frequency distribution in terms of number of standard deviation from the mean. If there is no relationship in a table, the cell percentages look approximately equal across rows or columns: a linear relationship looks like larger percentages in the diagonal cells. If the value of rho is squared, sometimes called r-squared, it has a unique proportion reduction in error meaning . It has an upper limit of infinity and a lower limit of zero, meaning no association. Reduce time needed for acceptance, reduce issue of overrapport, can sometimes help members open up: disadvantages.
