Solution
| X | Y | x = `"X" - bar"X"` = X − 6 |
y = `"Y" - bar"Y"` = Y − 4 |
x2 | y2 | xy |
| 5 | 1 | − 1 | − 3 | 1 | 9 | 3 |
| 10 | 6 | 4 | 2 | 16 | 4 | 8 |
| 5 | 2 | − 1 | − 2 | 1 | 4 | 2 |
| 11 | 8 | 5 | 4 | 25 | 16 | 20 |
| 12 | 5 | 6 | 1 | 36 | 1 | 6 |
| 4 | 1 | − 2 | − 3 | 4 | 9 | 6 |
| 3 | 4 | − 3 | 0 | 9 | 0 | 0 |
| 2 | 6 | − 4 | 2 | 16 | 4 | − 8 |
| 7 | 5 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 2 | − 5 | − 2 | 25 | 4 | 10 |
| 60 | 40 | 0 | 0 | 134 | 52 | 48 |
N = 10, ∑X = 60, ∑Y = 40, ∑x2 = 134, ∑y2 = 52, ∑xy = 48, `bar"X" = (sum"X")/"N" = 60/10` = 6, `bar"Y" = (sum"Y")/"N" = 40/10` = 4.
Coefficient of correlation
r = `(sum"xy")/(sqrt(sum"x"^2 sum"y"^2))`, Where x = `"X" - bar"X"`, y = `"Y" - bar"Y"`
r = `48/sqrt (134 xx 52)`
r = 0.575
