From the following table calculate the Karl Pearson’s coefficient of correlation:
x 6 2 10 4 8
y 9 11 ? 8 7
Arithmetic mean of y is 8.
Example 1 :
Calculate the correlation coefficient between the height of father and height of son from the
given data :
Month Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct
Ad (000 INR) 10 11 12 13 11 10 9 10 11 14
Sales (000 INR) 110 120 115 128 137 145 150 130 120 115
r= - 0.51
Case :
A Computer while calculating correlation coefficient between two variables X and Y from
25 pairs of observations obtained the following results:
It was, however discovered at the time of checking that two pairs of observations were
interpreted by a computer bug wrong. They were taken as (6, 14) and (8, 6) while correct
values were (8, 12) and (6, 8). Prove that the correct value of correlation coefficient
should be 2/3.
