Answer:

The coefficient of  correlation=0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Covariance between the variable  x and y=18

Variance of x=16

Variance of y=81

We have to find the coefficient of correlation

We know that

Coefficient of correlation

[tex]r=\frac{covariance(x,y)}{\sqrt{variance(x)}\times \sqrt{variance(y)}}[/tex]

Using the formula

[tex]r=\frac{18}{\sqrt{16}\times \sqrt{81}}[/tex]

[tex]r=\frac{18}{4\times 9}[/tex]

[tex]r=0.5[/tex]

Hence, the coefficient of  correlation=0.5
