Answer

Rounding to the nearest thousandth, the final answer is 0.988.

Steps

Step 1 :Given the data points, we have the following values: x=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10] and y=[0.1,0.7,1.1,2.1,2.9,3.1,3.1,4.4,4.6,5.1].

Step 2 :The number of pairs of data, denoted as n, is 10.

Step 3 :The sum of the x-values, denoted as x, is 55.

Step 4 :The sum of the y-values, denoted as y, is approximately 27.2.

Step 5 :The sum of the product of the x and y values, denoted as xy, is 195.6.

Step 6 :The sum of the squares of the x-values, denoted as x2, is 385.

Step 7 :The sum of the squares of the y-values, denoted as y2, is approximately 100.28.

Step 8 :Substitute these values into the formula for the correlation coefficient, r=n(xy)(x)(y)[nx2(x)2][ny2(y)2].

Step 9 :After calculating, we find that the correlation coefficient, r, is approximately 0.987611212433532.

Step 10 :Rounding to the nearest thousandth, the final answer is 0.988.
