Calculate Pearson’s r for the data above.I keep getting 1.77 but when i check with a calculator i
am getting a different answer.
Here is my work for the answer that I am getting.
i. Calculate the numerator
∑XY – [(∑X∑Y)/N]
4577.69-[(84.6)(983.7)/20]
4577.69-(83221.02/20)
4577.69-4161.05
416.64 is numerator
ii. calculate the demoninator
iii.
sq rt (∑X2 – ((∑X)2/N)( ∑y2- (∑y)*2/N))
sq rt(447.53 – 7157.16/20)(49004.2-967665.69/20)
sq rt(447.53-357.86)(49004.2-48383.28)
sq rt(89.67)(620.92)
sq rt 55,677.8964
235.96 is demoninator
Divide top and bottom
416.64/235.96= 1.77
Pearsons R is 1.77
