Given the information on the problem,we have that the correlation coefficient of the data given is:
[tex]r=\frac{\sum^{}_{}(x-\bar{y})(y-\bar{x})}{\sqrt[]{SS_x\cdot SSy}}=\frac{10}{\sqrt[]{16\cdot10}}=0.79[/tex]therefore, the value of the correlation coeficient is 0.79, which shows a strong positive correlation
