  5. Correlation between ad spend and sign-ups

    A hard prompt: “Correlation between ad spend and sign-ups”, in full.

    **Working:**
    
    n=8, mean(x)=768.75, mean(y)=54.25
    
    Computed deviations and cross-products:
    - Σ(dx·dy) = 24428.125
    - Σ(dx²) = 624687.5
    - Σ(dy²) = 971.5
    
    r = Σ(dx·dy) / √(Σdx² · Σdy²) = 24428.125 / √(624687.5 × 971.5) = 24428.125 / 24635.01 ≈ 0.9916
