Respuesta :

We have a set of data that relates weights and pounds.

A. We have to find the numerical value for the correlation between weight and pounds.

We can express the correlation coefficient between two samples x and y as:

[tex]r_{xy}={\frac{\sum_{i}x_{i}y_{i}-n{\bar{x}}{\bar{y}}}{{\sqrt{\sum_{i}x_{i}^{2}-n{\bar{x}}^{2}}} {\sqrt{\sum_{i}y_{i}^{2}-n{\bar{y}}^{2}}}}}.[/tex]
