Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient calculation involves squaring numbers (to calculate variances), taking square roots (to calculate standard deviations), and the basic arithmetic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. No algebraic equation solving or calculus is required for its computation.
