AaaAAARG THE NUMBERS

I JUST WANT THEM TO WORK AND NOT BE CONFUSING

For context, here are some screenshots of what I've been trying to do at school for the last...hour? two hours?

Spoiler

Fun times...

  Also I do kinda wanna know what the numbers mean. The (EDIT) indicators mean this is real world data that you’re trying to first a line? Astrophysics star luminosity vs size?

  I took data from the NASA Exoplanet Archive on hot jupiters and am looking for correlation between planetary density/radius and stellar attributes like luminosity and effective temperature.
  
  I thought I'd find correlation in density but I'm not finding it, but there is correlation in radius, at least I think. This isn't my final analysis. It's basically just me copying columns in spreadsheets and seeing what next steps I need to take.

  From my experience correlation is a little weaker in Astro than in other STEM fields. Any idea what correlation factor you’re supposed to have?
