d) why are the Variance + SD per definition non-negative ?
I both based on the sum of squared deviations (X-)" +
squares can't be negative ,
so sum of
Squares will always be a positive number +
SD is the square root of the Variance +
always a positive

c) Sign it ort of the covariance tells us whether the relationship btw the Variables is positive or negative .
4 When positive scores on 1
1
. are accompanied by negative scores on exam 1
. 3, those devictions
will be negative as well .
When many deviation scores are
negative ,
the covariance is likely to be nega
tive .
Size of covariance is determined by the SD of the Variables , which are influenced by the scale on
which the variables are measured .
Size of the covariance doesn't say anything about the size of
the relationship bth the variables .
, a) Why are both the sigh and the size of the correlation informative ?

1) Examine relative size of eigenvalues and find point at which the difference between values becomes
relatively small
2) Eigenvalue Greater than 1
