There is moderate negative linear relationship between (poverty, HD grad with r=-0.38) and (poverty, bachelors with r=-0.32). There is a no significant linear relationship between (poverty and grad with r=-0.07).
2. Does lower percentage of HS grad or above mean higher percent of poverty in the county?
With r=-0.38 between HS grad and Poverty, I can say that there is a moderate negative linear relationship. That is as the value of HS grad increases, the value of Poverty decreases.
3. If the percentage of bachelors or above graduates correspond to a lower percent of poverty?
With r=-0.32 between bachelors and Poverty, I can say that there is a moderate negative linear relationship. That is as the value of bachelors increases, the value of Poverty decreases. Hence, I can say that higher percentage of bachelors or above graduates correspond to a...
