Find the correlation coefficient, r, of the data described below.

Question

On today's episode of Science Time with Judith, Judith demonstrates that walking speed affects how wet a person will get in the rain. She simulates walking through the rain at various speeds.
Judith keeps track of her walking speed (in meters per second), x. Next, she measures how wet she is by taking the difference of her weight before and after walking through the rain (in kilograms), y.
Walking speed Amount of water
0.6 1.6
0.6 1.7
1.0 1.5
1.3 0.1
1.4 0.7
