Spss Bivariate Correlation. To obtain bivariate correlations. The value of correlation coefficient lies between 1 to 1 and value 0 indicates that there is no correlation.
The output will give you both the pearson and the spearman correlation coefficients and a p value for each. The bivariate correlations procedure computes pearson s correlation coefficient spearman s rho and kendall s tau b with their significance levels. A new window will open called bivariate correlations.
Now prepare a graph of the relationship between homework scores and exam scores.
Select two or more numeric variables. Before calculating a correlation coefficient screen your data for outliers which can cause misleading results and evidence of a linear relationship. The output will give you both the pearson and the spearman correlation coefficients and a p value for each. This feature requires the statistics base option.
