Hello,
I want to calculate the coefficient of correlation. Where is the "r" key? Also, what is the best way to calculate it?

To calculate the coefficient of correlation using the Texas Instruments BA II PLUS:
1. Enter the data into the calculator: - Press 2nd then DATA to enter the statistics mode. - Input the X and Y values.
2. Compute the correlation coefficient: - Press 2nd then STAT to access the statistics calculations. - Scroll to find the correlation coefficient (denoted as "r").
The "r" value is computed based on the definition: r = Cov(X, Y) / (Sx * Sy) where Cov(X, Y) is the covariance, and Sx and Sy are the sample standard deviations.
The "r" key is not explicitly present on the keypad. Instead, it is accessed through the 2nd STAT menu under statistics calculations.

All cash-flow problems start with an initial cash flow labeled CFo . CFo is always a known, entered value. Grouped Cash Flows Cash-flow problems can contain cash flows with unique values as well as consecutive cash flows of equal value. Although you must enter unequal cash flows separately, you can enter groups of consecutive, equal cash flows simultaneously using the F nn variable.
Deleting Cash Flows When you delete a cash flow, the calculator decreases the number of subsequent cash flows automatically. The DEL indicator confirms that you can delete a cash flow. Press # or " until the cash flow you want to delete appears. Press &...
Computing Cash Flows The calculator solves for these cash-flow values: • Net present value ( NPV) is the total present value of all cash flows, including inflows (cash received) and outflows (cash paid out). A positive value indicates a profitable investment. •...
• When a sequence of cash flows has two or more sign changes: At least one solution exists. As many solutions can exist as there are sign changes. When more than one solution exists, the calculator displays the one closest to zero. Because the displayed solution has no financial meaning, you should use caution in making investment decisions based on an IRR computed for a cash-flow stream with more than one sign change.

2. Compute the correlation coefficient:
- Press 2nd then STAT to access the statistics calculations.
- Scroll to find the correlation coefficient (denoted as "r").
The "r" value is computed based on the definition:
r = Cov(X, Y) / (Sx * Sy)
where Cov(X, Y) is the covariance, and Sx and Sy are the sample standard deviations.
The "r" key is not explicitly present on the keypad. Instead, it is accessed through the 2nd STAT menu under statistics calculations.
