Correlation is a statistical technique that
can show whether and how strongly pairs of

heavier than shorter people.

We use inferential statistics to try to infer
from the sample data what the population

statistics to make judgments of the
probability that an observed difference
between groups is a dependable one or one
that might have happened by chance in this
study.
