I need help figuring out what this formula is for.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

that was odd lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[r=\frac{ n(\Sigma xy)-(\Sigma x)(\Sigma y) }{ \sqrt{[n \Sigma x^2-(\Sigma x)^2][n \Sigma y^2-(\Sigma y)^2]} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can someone help me understand what this formula is for?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

looks like a pearson coefficient .... used to evaluate the correlation between sets

OpenStudy (anonymous):
