1. Define Karl Pearson's coefficient of correlation. Find Karl Pearson's coefficient of


correlation, for each of the following.
a) Σ(x-x¯)2 =120, Σ(y-y¯)2 =235, Σ(x-x¯) (y-y¯) = -139
b) n=16, Σx =12.3, Σ y= 213, Σxy =183, Σx2 =15.76, Σy2 =3600
c) For a bivariate data the sum of squares of difference between the ranks is 22. The rank
