What is the coefficient of correlation between the age and the number of concerts attended by the respondents since the first of the year?
A. |
-0.94 |
|
B. |
0.23 |
|
C. |
0.8 |
|
D. |
-0.23 |
Correlation co-efficient,r = Covariance (X,Y) / = SSxy /
=( Xi)/n = 53
=( Yi)/n = 3.65
SSxx= (Xi-)2 =(Xi2)-n.2 = 1814
SSyy= (Yi-)2 =(Yi2)-n.2 = 44.55
SSxy= (Xi-)(Yi-) =(XiYi)-n. = 228
So , r = 228 / = 0.8 ( option C)
