Coefficient of correlation between the two variables


A suburban hotel derives its gross income from its hotel and restaurant operations. The owners are interested in the relationship between the number of rooms occupied on a nightly basis and the revenue per day in the restaurant. Below is a sample of 25 days (Monday through Thursday) from last year showing the restaurant income and number of rooms occupied.

Day Income Occupied Day Income Occupied

1 1,452 72 14 1,425 31

2 1,361 20 15 1,446 51

3 1,426 21 16 1,439 62

4 1,470 25 17 1,348 45
