A teacher believes that the third homework assignment is a key predictor in how well students will do on the midterm. Let x represent the third homework score and y the midterm exam score. A random sample of last terms students were selected and their grades are shown below. Assume scores are normally distributed. Calculate the correlation coefficient using technology (you can copy and paste the data into Excel). Round answer to 4 decimal places.

Make sure you put the 0 in front of the decimal.
