6. Calculating the Pearson correlation with z-scores
Aa Aa
Imagine that a professor of anthropology has two teaching assistants (TAS) who will help her grade assignments for
the duration of the semester. The professor wants to make sure that she and the TAs are well calibrated with one
another, so she has all three of them grade the first assignment independently. Because the professor grades every
assignment on a curve, she first converts the students' scores to z-scores for each grader. The following table shows
the z-scores for population of 10 students in her class for each grader.

Q Search this
The professor is going to use the z-scores to calculate the Pearson correlation coefficient between her scores and
those of her TAs. To calculate the Pearson correlation coefficient, she sums the products of the z-scores. The
professor should divide this sum by
The professor constructed a table of correlation coefficients between her scores and those of her TAs. Select the
correct missing correlation.

Based on the correlation table, the professor should arrive at which of the following conclusions?
The professor and TA #2 are well calibrated, but TA #1 is off.
The professor and both of her TAs are well calibrated.
The two TAs are well calibrated with each other but not with the professor.
The professor and TA #1 are well calibrated, but TA #2 is off.
The professor thinks she tends to be a harsh grader and decides to add 5 points to each student's grade before
converting the scores to z-scores and computing the Pearson correlation coefficient between her grades and the two
teaching assistants'. This change in the professor's scores will
the correlation between the
professor's scores and TA #1's and TA #2's scores.
