Take Home Assignment 2 Bivariate Data & Probability Question 1 Covariance and Correlation coefficient The table below shows a set of bivariate data: X and Y. Calculate the covariance and correlation coefficient by completing the table, assuming sample data. Show all workings. (Note: You can calculate the mean and standard deviation of X & Y with the STAT mode in your calculator and no working is required.) XY(X - X bar)(Y - Y bar)(X - X bar)(Y - Y bar)11038657483 (b)Comment on the strength of the linear association between X and Y.
