#### Explanation of Data Table

The table above lists the yearly high temperatures (in an unspecified unit) over several years. Each pair of values \((X, Y)\) consists of:
- \( X \), which represents the year (starting from 4 to 16)
- \( Y \), which represents the corresponding high temperature recorded for that year.

The objective is to find the correlation coefficient \( r \), which measures the strength and direction of the linear relationship between the two variables \( X \) (year) and \( Y \) (high temperature).

**How to Calculate the Correlation Coefficient:**
1. Calculate the mean of both \( X \) and \( Y \).
2. Find the deviations from the mean for both \( X \) and \( Y \).
3. Calculate the product of the deviations for each pair of \( X \) and \( Y \).
4. Sum up the products of the deviations.
5. Find the square root of the sum of squares of the deviations for \( X \) and \( Y \).
6. Use the correlation coefficient formula:

\[ r = \frac{n \sum (XY) - (\sum X)(\sum Y)}{\sqrt{[n \sum X^2 - (\
