A computer while calculating correlation coefficient between two variables X and Y from 25 pairs of observations obtained the following results : n=25, ∑ X= 125, ∑ X^2=650, ∑ Y=100, ∑ Y^2= 460, ∑ XY =508. If was, however, later discovered at the time of checking that he had copied down two pairs as (X,Y)= (6,14),(8,6) while the correct values were (X,Y)=(8,12),(6,8).
Obtain the correct value of correlation co-efficient.
