Read sections 3, 5, and 6 from chapter 4. Also, complete the questions at the end of each section. Section 3 introduces Pearson's correlation and explains what the typical values represent. Section 5 further elaborates on the properties of r, particularly the fact that it is invariant under linear transformation. Section 6 introduces several formulas that can be used to compute Pearson's correlation.
