**Title: Calculating the Correlation Coefficient from Given Data**

**Objective:** 
Learn how to compute the correlation coefficient using a given set of data.

**Instructions:** 
To find the correlation coefficient, you will use the listed data points for variables \( x \) and \( y \).

**Data:**

| \( x \) | \( y \) |
|-------|-------|
| 1     | 3     |
| 5     | 5     |
| 6     | 1     |
| 3     | 6     |
| 4     | 4     |
| 2     | 2     |

**Steps:**

1. Plot the data on a scatter plot to visually assess any potential correlation.
2. Use the formula for the Pearson correlation coefficient \( r \) to compute the linear relationship between \( x \) and \( y \).
3. The formula for \( r \) is:

   \[
   r = \frac{n(\sum xy) - (\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 - (\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 - (\sum y)^2]}}
   \]

   - \( n \) is the number of data points.
   - \( \sum xy \) is the sum of the products of paired scores.
   - \( \sum x \) and \( \sum y \) are the sums of the \( x \) and \( y \) scores, respectively.
   - \( \sum x^2 \) and \( \sum y^2 \) are the sums of the squared \( x \) and \( y \) scores, respectively.

4. Interpret the value of \( r \):
   - \( r = 1 \): perfect positive correlation
   - \( r = -1 \): perfect negative correlation
   - \( r = 0 \): no correlation

This exercise helps develop a fundamental understanding of statistical relationships between two variables and their practical implications.
