What is Karl Pearson’s coefficient of correlation defined?

Solution

Karl Pearson’s coefficient of correlation : Karl Pearsons’s coefficient of correlation, is used to measure the degree of relationship between two or more variabless. It is represented by r. It is based on arithmetic mean and standard deviation. The coefficient of correlation (r) of two variables is obtained by dividing the sum of the products of the corresponding deviations of the various items of two series from their respective means by the product of their standard deviations and the number of pairs of observaions.
