What is the value of the correlation coefficient r of the data set?

enyata [817]

The correct option will be: C) 0.84

Explanation

Formula for Correlation coefficient :

$r= \frac{n(\Sigma xy)-(\Sigma x)(\Sigma y)}{\sqrt{[n\Sigma x^2-(\Sigma x)^2][n\Sigma y^2-(\Sigma y)^2]}}$

First, for each point(x, y), we need to calculate x², y² and xy .

Then, we will find sum all x, y, x², y² and xy, which gives us Σx, Σy, Σx², ∑y² and Σxy

(Please refer to the attached image for the table )

Here we got, ∑x = 44 , ∑y = 183 , ∑x² = 362 , ∑y² = 6575 and ∑xy = 1480

'n' is the total number of data set, which is 7 here.

So, plugging those values into the above formula..........

$r= \frac{n(\Sigma xy)-(\Sigma x)(\Sigma y)}{\sqrt{[n\Sigma x^2-(\Sigma x)^2][n\Sigma y^2-(\Sigma y)^2]}}\\ \\ r=\frac{7(1480)-(44)(183)}{\sqrt{[7(362)-(44)^2][7(6575)-(183)^2]}}\\ \\ r=\frac{10360-8052}{\sqrt{(598)(12536)}}\\ \\ r=\frac{2308}{\sqrt{7496528}}\\ \\ r=0.84$
