In How It Works 15.2, we calculated the correlation coefficient between students' age and number of hours they study per week. The mean for age is 21, and the standard deviation is 1.789. The mean for hours studied is 14.2, and the standard deviation is 5.582. The correlation between these two variables is 0.49. Use the z score formula.
