In previous years, we have asked students to complete an anonymized survey that was then used to generate data. Indicate the type of correlation we should use to examine the relationships between the two variables listed in the table (each scale of measurement is provided below). Give the verbal name for the correlation coefficient AND its symbol.

Variables	Correlation Coefficient	Symbol
Age & Mode of Transportation
Height & Computer Knowledge
Expected Grade for Stats Class & Age
Expected Grade & Anxiety
Height & Mode of Transportation
Preferred Social Media Site & Mode of Transportation

The scale of Measurement for Each Variable
• Age is a ratio variable
• Height is a ratio variable
• Mode of Transportation is a nominal variable
• Computer Knowledge is an interval variable
• Expected Grade for Stats Class is an ordinal variable – most are 5% intervals except for the first
and last category “< 50%” and “95%-100%”
• Anxiety is an ordinal variable
• Preferred Social Media Site is a nominal variable.
