We wish to look at the relationship between sales experience (in years) and annual sales (in $10,000). Summary measures are given below: n=7, Σxi=70, Σx2i=896, Σyi=77, Σy2i=949, and Σxiyi=907 Find the correlation.
Given n= 7 , , , , ,
Correlation (r)= ?
r= Cov(x,y)/6x 6y
Xbar= = 70/7 = 10
Ybar= = 77/7 = 11
6x2= = 896/7-(10)^2= 28
6x=√28= 5.2915
6y2== 949/7 - (11)^2 = 14.5714
6y= √14.5714= 3.8172
Cov(x,y)=
= 907/7 - (10)(11) = 19.5714
r= Cov(x,y)/6x6y
= 19.5714/(5.2915 * 3.8172)
= 0.9689
Correlation= 0.9689
r>0 positive ly correlation.
