TopicBivariate data
TypeCalculate r from raw bivariate data

1 For each of a random sample of 10 customers, a store records the time, \(x\) minutes, spent shopping and the value, \(\pounds y\), to the nearest 10 p, of items purchased. The results are tabulated below.
Time (x)1345109172316216
Value (y)12.55.72.318.47.917.117.918.68.321.3
    1. Calculate the value of the product moment correlation coefficient between \(x\) and \(y\).
    2. Interpret your value in context.
  1. Write down the value of the product moment correlation coefficient if the time had been recorded in seconds and the value in pence to the nearest 10p.
