Is correlation a dimensionless value?
Consider the range of correlation values.

Think about how correlation is measured and the meaning of its extremes.
True or False: Covariance can be a negative number.
Recall how covariance describes variable interactions.
A dataset comprises the following observations for two variables: A = {10, 20, 30, 40} and B = {5, 10, 15, 20}. Calculate the covariance and the correlation between A and B.
Apply the covariance and correlation formulas carefully, ensuring to calculate means first.
How might covariance apply differently when analyzing stock returns of two companies versus analyzing temperature variation and ice cream sales?
Reflect on real-life implications of variable relationships.
