A professor was interested in comparing how well her students performed on their midterm and final exams in her calculus course. She randomly sampled 7 students from her class and recorded their midterm and final exam grades which are shown in the table below.  Midterm and Final Exam Grade Comparisons Student X=Midterm Exam Y=Final Exam Student 1 59 86 Student 2 65 77 Student 3 92 70 Student 4 80 92 Student 5 56 95 Student 6 50 93 Student 7 67 89   Use this information to calculate Pearson’s correlation coefficient.  Make sure to type your answer as a decimal rounded to 3 decimal places. For example, if you thought the answer was 0.54321 then you would type in 0.543.
