One way to get a feel for how the value of a correlation relates to
the shape of a scatterplot is to let the computer generate several
sets of data with correlation (close to) a specified value.
Each time you press the Submit button below, you will see a
new scatterplot with the specified correlation r (initial
value 0.9) and sample size n (initial value 100). You can
change the values of r and n to see plots for
different correlations and sample sizes.
Try some examples of your own in the work area below.
