Math Problem Statement
Research was conducted on the amount of oxygen runners could utilize during training, known as their max, and their finishing times for a 5K race to see if there was a significant relationship between these variables. The results for 8 runners were compiled and placed in the following table.
Max (ml/kg/min) (x) 5K Finishing Time (min) (y) 43.68 23.26 39.4 23.39 38.02 28.98 39.94 26.57 23.67 31.36 41.97 25.4 39.08 27.35 39.55 23.74 Calculate the correlation coefficient. Round to three decimals.

Formulas
Correlation coefficient formula: r = [n(Σxy) - (Σx)(Σy)] / sqrt{[nΣx^2 - (Σx)^2][nΣy^2 - (Σy)^2]}
Regression line formula: y = mx + b
Slope formula: m = [n(Σxy) - (Σx)(Σy)] / [nΣx^2 - (Σx)^2]
Intercept formula: b = [Σy - m(Σx)] / n
