SUMMARY
The discussion centers on determining positive correlation from a table of joint and marginal distributions. The user understands the concept of positive correlation but seeks clarification on how to derive it from tabulated data rather than through direct computation. Key methods for assessing correlation from a table include analyzing the joint distribution values and comparing them to the marginal distributions. This approach allows for a visual or numerical assessment of the relationship between variables without direct computation.
