Correlation
The correlation coefficient is a statistical measure of the strength of the relationship between two variables. Correlation coefficient is denoted by (๐) and
is between -1 and 1. The closer the data points are to the regression line the stronger the relationship. That means the closer ๐ is to 1 or -1. The further
the data points are away from the regression line, the weaker the relationship, and the closer ๐ is to 0. If the gradient of the regression line is positive,
then the data set has a positive correlation and if the gradient of the regression line is negative, then the data has a negative correlation. If the correlation
coefficient is greater than 0,9 we say there is a very strong positive correlation. If the correlation coefficient is smaller than -0,9 we say there is a very
strong negative correlation. The strength of the association is determined by the correlation coefficient (๐).
Directorate: Curriculum FET
Perfect positive linear association. Very Strong positive linear association.

Quadratic Inequalities
A quadratic inequality involves determining the values of x for which the graph of a parabola lies either above or below the x- axis. In the second term (on
functions) you will learn how to sketch the graphs of parabola in much more detail. All we need now is a basic understanding of how to determine the x-
intercepts of a parabola as well as its shape.

The x-intercepts can be determined as follows:

to Standard form: (x-a)โ + (yb =r
{using completion of squares)
x?-6x + y?+By- 25 = 0
