Guess the Correlation Applet

This applet generates a scatterplot each time the user clicks "New Sample". Users can then guess the correlation from the graph and see the actual value. By clicking "Edit data" users can input their own data. Users can also determine the number of points in the plot.

Good way for students to practice guessing correlations. The different graphing options (like guess vs actual) are fun to play with once you've guessed several times.

Very nice tool to get students into dealing with scatter in data and understanding the value of r.
