32 Probable Error = P.E = 0.6745*(1-r2) /SQRT(n)
33 Lower Limit of Population Correlation Coefficient = r - P.E
34 Upper Limit of Population Correlation Coefficient = r + P.E
35 Coefficient of Determination = r2

123 Result:
124 Thus by using excel data analysis method and spss , the karl peason's coefficient is determined to be 0.6198. Also it is found to be
125 significant as (6*PE < r). Similarly limits of population correlation coefficient is found to be (0.5350, 0.7046) . Also coefficient of
126 determination is found to be 0.3841
