Applying the formula, it is found that the SP for both numbers is of 7.
The first step is finding the mean for both sets, hence:
[tex]M_x = \frac{4 + 0 + 1 + 3}{4} = 2[/tex]
[tex]M_y = \frac{5 + 2 + 1 + 4}{4} = 3[/tex]
Then, the SP(sum of products of deviations) is the sum of the multiplications between each value x and the mean, with each respective value of y(same index) and the mean, hence:
[tex]SP = (4 - 2)(5 - 3) + (0 - 2)(2 - 3) + (1 - 2)(1 - 3) + (3 - 2)(3 - 4) = 7[/tex]
The SP for both numbers is of 7.
