Correlation From a Summary Table
A greenhouse trial recorded, for each of n=10 plots, the daily hours of sunlight x and the yield y in grams. The raw pairs have been lost, but the lab notebook still holds the totals:
∑x=50,∑y=80,∑xy=470
∑x2=300,∑y2=800
Pearson's correlation coefficient is
r=∑(xi−xˉ)2∑(yi−yˉ)2∑(xi−xˉ)(yi−yˉ)
and the three deviation sums it needs can be rebuilt from raw totals using
