Find the correlation coefficient between x and y X 57 58 59 59 60 61 62 64

Y 77 78 75 78 82 82 79 81

0.603

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

X 57 58 59 59 60 61 62 64

Y 77 78 75 78 82 82 79 81

The Correlation Coefficient, R value gives a measure of the degree of correlation between two variables, the dependent and independent variable. The correlation Coefficient value ranges from - 1 to 1. With negative values depicting a negative relationship and positive values meaning a positive relationship. The closer the R value is to + or - 1, the higher the strength of the relationship. With a value of 0 meaning 'no correlation'.

The correlation Coefficient value of the data above is 0.603, this gives a fairly strong positive correlation

i would need to see the dot plot : )
