Covariance between y and z, Cov(y, z) = Cov(y, 2x+5) = 2Cov(y,x) Standard deviation of z, SD(z) = SD(2x+5) = 2SD(x) So, Correlation between y and z, Corr(y, z) = Cov(y, z) /(SD(y)SD(z)) = 2Cov(y, x) /(2SD(y)SD(x)) = Corr(y, x) = 0.36 If you reply to this email, your message will be added to the discussion below: http://discussion-forum.2150183.n2.nabble.com/correlation-tp7603112p7603115.html To unsubscribe from correlation, click here.
