De student heeft de Partial Correlation goed geïnterpreteerd. Hij/Zij had mogen vermelden dat de partiële correlatie er voor zorgt dat het effect van de derde variabele wordt weggewerkt. 
Ik vind het inderdaad ook een nadeel dat de Partial Correlation enkel een tabel weergeeft en geen figuur. Maar de Partial Correlation heeft ook een voordeel, namelijk dat de variabelen met elkaar worden vergeleken zonder beïnvloed te worden door een derde variabele.

Ik ga akkoord met de conclusie van de studente en die van Evelyn Gabriel. Ik wil nog wel aan de conclusie toevoegen dat we zien dat variabele y een zeer grote invloed uitoefent op de correlatie tussen variabelen x en z.

Partial correlation maakt het mogelijk de invloed van de 3e variabele te neutraliseren. Op die manier is het mogelijk om na te gaan of er sprake is van een schijncorrelatie. Hier heeft Y duidelijk een heel grote invloed op de correlatie tussen X en Z

Juiste bewerking, goede interpretatie.

De student geeft een juiste interpretatie. 
De partial correlation  geeft het verband weer tussen 3 variabelen. Onbekende variabelen zouden kunnen zorgen voor een schijncorrelatie, waardoor er dus een vertekend beeld ontstaat. Bij partial correlation wordt rekening gehouden met een derde variabele die een grote invloed uitoefent op de 2 andere variabelen.
