cov(x,y) =∑xiyi÷n-xbar*ybar

              =60862÷10-78.6*76.7

               = 57.58

v(x) = ∑xi2÷n-xbar2

        = 62604÷10-78.62

       = 82.44

σx = 9.079

v(y)  = ∑yi2÷n-ybar2

         =59497÷10-76.72

         = 66.9

σy =8.179

 

please help me write the formula a little bit clearly and clear solution.
