Answer:

Let's assume the following data:

Price in Dollars (X) 26 29 32 38 47

Number of Bids (Y) 12 13 15 16 18

For our case we have this:

n=10 \sum x = 172, \sum y = 74, \sum xy = 2623, \sum x^2 =6194, \sum y^2 =1118  

r=\frac{5(2623)-(172)(74)}{\sqrt{[5(6194) -(172)^2][5(1118) -(74)^2]}}=0.974  

So then the correlation coefficient would be r =0.974

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The correlation coefficient is a "statistical measure that calculates the strength of the relationship between the relative movements of two variables". It's denoted by r and its always between -1 and 1.

Solution to the problem

And in order to calculate the correlation coefficient we can use this formula:  

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

Let's assume the following data

Price in Dollars (X) 26 29 32 38 47

Number of Bids (Y) 12 13 15 16 18

For our case we have this:

n=10 \sum x = 172, \sum y = 74, \sum xy = 2623, \sum x^2 =6194, \sum y^2 =1118  

r=\frac{5(2623)-(172)(74)}{\sqrt{[5(6194) -(172)^2][5(1118) -(74)^2]}}=0.974  

So then the correlation coefficient would be r =0.974
