If you're (me) given a table of values, substitute in into the formula. <-- Made that problem up, not too sure on it though.

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what happens? :DD

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

I don't' know what value I should put them as D;

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

The tasks I set myself up for ;_;

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you asking how to find r?

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

If I can find the the sigma values are i can find R by plugging in :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean by sigma values?

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Find their values with the given list

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm, give me a minute to calculate I guess.

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

k :3

OpenStudy (shamil98):

i'll let wio take this one, too lazy to calculate all that , too much work

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

pfft >.<

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

same + it's Valentine's Day

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

o.0 that doesn't apply to me :l *looks at everyone* ..k :3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use calculator :)

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

O.O I have the answer U_U I want to know how to do it on paper though ;-;

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What value are you talking about? the value of r?

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

the values of the list I posted above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://jsfiddle.net/wio_dude/H8aHm/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is \(r\) supposed to be anyway?

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

r is the correlation coefficient and yes, the answer was 0.0764 :>

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

How would you do this on paper though? >.<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do what the formula tells you

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

._. ^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

evaluate ∑(xy), ∑x, ∑y, ∑x^2, (∑x)^2, ∑y^2, and (∑y)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Look at my program. It does it really simply.

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

I mean how did you find those values :o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It just adds things up.

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Ok.. how did you find\[\Sigma x\] ? I know that Σx = Sum of first variable

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

But what's the first variable?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I add up every \(x\) value.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ \sum x= 11+18+17+\ldots \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Happy Valentines Days @shamil98 @UsukiDoll @hartnn

OpenStudy (yttrium):

\[\sum\] indicates summation of values

OpenStudy (yttrium):

HAPPY SINGLE AWARENESS DAY!

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, I am single. But I don't know about you guys.

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Oh ok x)

hartnn (hartnn):

@tHe_FiZiCx99 now you know how to find all those ? \(\sum x, \sum x^2 , \sum y , \sum y^2, \sum xy \) any doubts ?

OpenStudy (yttrium):

\[\sum xy\] means summation of all products of x and y \[\sum x^2 or \sum y^2\] means summation of square of x and summation of y, respectively.

OpenStudy (yttrium):

it a kind of direct substitution

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

I'm curious how to find Σxy And Σx^2 would be adding all of x's and squaring them?

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

I think for Σxy is the sum of x * y

hartnn (hartnn):

nopes, \(\sum xy = 11*6+18*8+17*10+... \) \(\sum x^2 = 11^2+18^2+17^2+...\) \(\sum y^2 = 6^2+8^2+10^2+...\)

OpenStudy (yttrium):

Yeah you got it right. \[\sum xy = x_{1}y _{1}+x _{2}y _{2}+...\]

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Ohhh >-<

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Yeah it makes more sense now :* ty

hartnn (hartnn):

sum x^2 square all x's and then take the sum

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Ah, kk thanks :* Ty everyone who bothered looking at it <~~(^^)~~>

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

x = the first variable, that would be 11 in this case? y = the second variable, that would be 6 in this case?

OpenStudy (yttrium):

yea

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

and Ex would be 11 also?

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Σx *

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

@Yttrium

OpenStudy (yttrium):

No, you have to add all x's

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Ok, and N would be 10 or 20 ?

OpenStudy (yttrium):

10

OpenStudy (yttrium):

look at this http://jsfiddle.net/wio_dude/H8aHm/

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

kk ty, and I forgot wio gave me his link lol >.<
