a. In the following problem, find the correlation coefficient between the heights (in inches) of the
fathers and the sons.

Height of the Father 65 63 67 64 68 62 70 66 68 67 69 71

Height of the Son 68 66 68 65 69 66 68 65 71 67 68 70

Height of the Height of the Son

TOTAL: 800 811 53418 54849 54107

This pearson’s r value of 0.703 means that there is moderately high correlation between the height of
father and the son.
b. The following table shows the final grades of ten (10) students in Algebra and Statistics. Determine
the correlation of the two variables.
