Malignant 2 1 2 5
Total 315 2 3 320

Covariance σ: 20241.5556 A positive covariance means that the two variables are positively related and they have the same direction. “Correlation coefficient” 0.9996 (correlation coefficient uses values from −1 to 1, correlation with greater absolute value has a stronger linear correlation)
