This question involves calculating the Pearson correlation coefficient from regression statistics in a model with centered data.
For a set of bivariate data where the means of both variables are zero (i.e., and ), a linear regression through the origin is performed.
The sum of squares due to regression () is 8 and the total sum of squares () is 10.
Assuming the slope of the regression line is positive, calculate the Pearson correlation coefficient, , between and .
