Hi, To help check your (and my) calculations, I created an Excel spreadsheet which gives a breakdown of the correlation computations. Unless you are using scipy, and have coded the correlation computation in Python yourself, you may have programming in the same mistake. Anyway, I have now upload the Excel spreadsheet to the Assignment 2 LMS page. Cheers MichaelW 👨‍🎨
