Pearson Product-Moment Correlation
Pearson product-moment correlation is the most widely used in statistics to measure the degree of the relationship between the linear related variables. The Pearson correlation would require both variables to be normally distributed. Correlation refers to the departure of two random variables from independence.
For example, in the stock market, if we want to measure how two products related to each other. Pearson is used to measure the degree of relationship between the two products.

Correlation Coefficient
The correlation coefficient is defined as the covariance divided by the standard deviation of the variables. The following formula is used to calculate the Pearson correlation:

Pearson’s product-moment correlation or simply correlation coefficient or Pearson is a measure of the linear strength of the association between two variables. It is founded by Karl Pearson. The value of the correlation coefficient varies between and . When the value of the correlation coefficient lies around , then it is said to be a perfect degree of association between two variables. As the value of the correlation coefficient goes closer to zero, the relationship between the two variables will be weaker.

Test of Significance
A test of significance for the coefficient of correlation may be used to find out if the computed Pearson’s could have occurred in a population in which the two variables are related or not. The test static follows the with degrees of freedom. The significance is computed using the formula of
where t = t test for correlation coefficientr = correlation coefficientN = number of paired samples

Procedure for Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Test
1. Set up the hypothesis:
(The correlation in the population is zero) (The correlation in the population is
different from zero)where is the correlation in the
population2. Set the level of significance.

If , do not reject .If , reject .
6. State the conclusion.

Procedure for Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Test
When the null hypothesis has been rejected for a specific significance level, there are possible relationships between X and Y variables:
1. There is a direct cause-and-effect relationship between the two variables.
2. There is a reverse cause-and-effect relationship between the two variables.
3. The relationship between the two variables may be caused by the third variable.
4. There maybe a complexity of interrelationship among many variables.
5. The relationship between the two variables may be coincidental.

Degrees of freedom
Critical values of t
The coefficient of correlation, , between the atmospheric temperature and total sales indicates a very high positive correlation – that is an increased in atmospheric temperature is highly associated with the increased in total sales of fruit shake.

Decision Rule
In order to make decision on the significant relationship, we need to determine the value of t.
Since the computed t-value of 8.00 is greater than the tabular value of 2.288 at level of significance of 0.05, we would need to reject the null hypothesis.

Conclusion
Since the null hypothesis has been rejected, we can conclude that there is evidence that shows significant association between the atmospheric temperature and the total sales of fruit shake.
