Suppose a hospital tested the age and body fat data for 18 randomly selected adults with the following result.

age 23 23 27 27 39 41 47 49 50

%fat 9.5 26.5 7.8 17.8 31.4 25.9 27.4 27.2 31.2

age 52 54 54 56 57 58 58 60 61

%fat 34.6 42.5 28.8 33.4 30.2 34.1 32.9 41.2 35.7 Calculate the correlation coefficient (Persons product moment coefficient). Are these two variables positively or negatively correlated?
