Trying to find a correlation...

The responses to my data collections were mixed, and it was hard to see any real trend. The five participants in general had positive reactions to Pandora, whether or not the songs matched the reasons they had listed for question two. In the graph, I wanted to see whether there was a correlation between the responses to questions six and seven. Question six asked how accurately the reasons Pandora gave for playing the songs matched the reasons you had listed and question seven asked whether you had a positive or negative reaction to the fact that Pandora can predict your music taste. I hypothesized that these questions would be proportional, with positive reactions for number seven accompanied by high scores for question six. However, from the five data points there was no obvious correlation. In order to properly test this possible correlation it would be necessary to survey a much larger data set.
