Does correlation consider diminishing returns? For example, PTs and LSAT scores, at some point, taking more PTs will give you diminishing returns. Will this be something that is considered on the LSAT?
I thought it was really helpful to see that correlation could allow for exceptions to happen. Just because A is positively correlated to B does not mean that it wont allow for instances where A is not positively correlated to B
so grateful I took advanced stats in uni because this is so easy, if u have the chance to and are still in undergrad I cannot recommend enough taking stats
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the friends-LSAT score correlation is closer to 0 then it is to -1 (I have hope for us to be able to have friends and have high LSAT scores, just think of all the friends we're meeting on 7sage!)

Praying the correlation of less friends and higher LSAT score can apply to me lol

fml time to drop some of my friends
This sounds like math positive and negative correlation is the same as direct or inverse relationships.
So what I gathered from this is to rail practice tests until my frontal lobe bleeds. Hell yeah

I have no friends
So you're saying if I have no friends I could possibly get a 180?!
