Standard deviation serves as a metric to quantify the dispersion or variation of data points from their mean value.

Alongside computing the standard deviations, it is crucial to determine the covariance between the two variables.

Covariance indicates the degree to which two variables change together, either in the same or opposite direction.

The Pearson correlation coefficient is derived by dividing the covariance by the product of the standard deviations of the two variables.
