Step 1
When we study the data retailing to two variables X and Y, we obtain a measure of the correlation coefficient between X and Y.
The correlation coefficient is obtained as
r [ Cov ( x ,   y ) σ x σ y ]
Here C o v ( x , y ) signifies the variation between X and Y
σ x is a measure of the standard-deviation within the values of X.
σ y is the measure of the standard deviation of values within Y.
