De correlatie tussen x en y is zeer goed (0.84)alsook de correlatie tussen xz (0.86) en yz (0.94!). Bij een partial correlation wordt de controlevariable weggewerkt omdat deze een vertekenend effect op het verband kan hebben. Dit was vooral het geval bij de correlatie tussen x en y waarbij het effect van de controlevariabele z werd weggewerkt en bij de correlatie tussen x en z waarbij de controlevariabele y werd weggewerkt. Bij de correlatie tussen y en z was het verschil minder groot, dit wil zeggen dat de controlevariabele hier een minder belangrijke rol speelt.

Het is inderdaad zo dat x en y (nadat invloed van variabele z was weggewerkt) een veel kleinere correlatie krijgen. (Slechts 0,16) Daarom is het goed dat we werken met de partial correlation, omdat we dit anders niet zouden ontdekken. 
Bij x en z kan ik hierover hetzelfde zeggen.

Na het wegwerken van de invloed van variabele z krijgen x en y een lagere correlatie waarde. Dit bewijst het nut van partial correlation. Dit is tevens van toepassing op de variabelen x en z.
