Statistical principles: correlation

No items found.

This resource supports students in exploring and understanding linear correlations in biomedical data. It encourages them to describe relationships between variables both qualitatively and quantitatively, and how to select and interpret appropriate statistical measures such as Pearson's coefficient, for different situations.

Learning outcomes

  • Describe linear correlations both qualitatively and quantitatively for various datasets.
  • Identify the most appropriate statistical value in a variety of use cases.
  • Interpret statistical values, such as Pearson's coefficient.

"The great thing about Smart Worksheets is that they tell you at every point whether you’ve got it right or wrong, what might be wrong and how you might go about changing it. The students found that really valuable. In their exam, we found that the average mark in the maths questions rose from 59% to 79%, which made a really big difference to the student outcome.”
