These data collected from people between ages 12 to 25. Here, data set represents relationship
between age and height and how it varies from person to person.

Covariance and Correlation: Let's calculate the covariance and correlation between Age
and Height.
Covariance: To calculate the covariance, we need to subtract the mean of Age from each age
value and the mean of Height from each height value. Then, we multiply these differences
together, sum them up, and divide by (n-1).
Covariance = (12-16.25)(40-52.3) + (13-16.25)(45-52.3) + ... + (25-16.25)(66-52.3) / (20-1)
Covariance ≈ -35.98
Correlation: To calculate the correlation coefficient, we divide the covariance by the product of
the standard deviations of Age and Height.
Correlation = Covariance / (Standard Deviation of Age * Standard Deviation of Height)
Correlation ≈ -0.607

Interpretation of Results:
Covariance: The negative covariance value (-35.98) suggests an inverse relationship between
Age and Height. As the age increases, there is a tendency for the height to decrease.
Correlation: The negative correlation coefficient (-0.607) indicates a moderately strong negative
linear relationship between Age and Height. It confirms that as the age increases, the height tends
to decrease. The closer the correlation coefficient is to -1, the stronger the negative relationship.
Based on these results, we can infer that in this dataset, there is a tendency for younger
individuals to have greater heights, while older individuals tend to be shorter. However, it's
important to note that this analysis is specific to the given dataset and may not generalize to the
entire population.
