A set of n = 15 pairs of scores (X and Y values) has SSX = 4, SSY = 25, and SP = 6. What is the Pearson correlation for these data

The Pearson correlation can be calculated by the formula:

r = \frac{SP}{ \sqrt{SS_(x)SS_(y) } }

Therefore:

r = 6 / √(4·25)
= 6 / √100
= 6 / 10
= 0.60

Hence, the Pearson correlation for this set is 0.60
