Pearson's correlation is a mathematical formula used to calculate correlation coefficients between two datasets.
Most computer programs have a command to calculate this such as CORREL(dataset A: dataset B).
You would calculate this your self by...
Step 1: Find the mean of x, and the mean of y
Step 2: Subtract the mean of x from every x value (call them "a"), and subtract the mean of y from every y value (call them "b")
Step 3: Calculate: ab, a2 and b2 for every value
Step 4: Sum up ab, sum up a2 and sum up b2
Step 5: Divide the sum of ab by the square root of [(sum of a2) × (sum of b2)]

Hypogamy has been found to be practiced more by men than by women.
For men power and control is the one of the strongest attainments and what often leads them to pursue a hypogamous relationship.

Societal institutions have created deeply rooted systematic differences between men and women and an idea of how far women can go socially, professionally, and economically.
Immigration and citizenship have influenced the goal of marriage, consequentially creating hypogamy on the personal level.

The Mediterranean tree frog or stripeless tree frog (Hyla meridionalis) is a frog from Africa and Europe.
It lives in parts of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Portugal, Spain, France and Italy where there is plenty of water in the air.
Reproductive biology
The beginning and the duration of the reproductive period are very different.
In southern France it extends from April to June, in Portugal from December to January (and later), in North Africa from March to April, in Tenerife from December to May.
Sometimes she experiences an interruption due to bad weather.
This is not uncommon for the Mediterranean tree frogs of the Camargue, France, when the mistral brings cold air from the Massif Central to the coast and causes a sudden fall in the weather there.
Female frogs lay eggs on groups of plants near the edge of a body of water.
The tadpoles hatch after eight to ten days.
The very largest tadpoles grow to 5.5 cm long.
They become frogs after three or four months.
The frogs eat insects and insect-like animals, for example spiders.

Crushers are machines used to reduce the size of rocks, stones and ore.
They are often utilized in aggregates production, construction material recycling and in mining operations.
There are four traditional types of crushers in materials engineering.
They are known as jaw crushers, gyratory crushers, cone crushers and roll crushers.
The first two crushers mentioned are the most common when it comes to mineral processing.
Roll crushers are a relatively new type of crusher and they are just starting to become more and more popular in mineral processing.
The main idea behind how jaw crushers work is that there is a hinge plate that moves back and forth with a fixed plate is held up against the prior hinge plate.
The beginning of the process has the jaws of the crusher open to receive a rock.
The hinge plate, like a big jaw-bone, bites down on the rock and crushes it.
Gyratory crushers have a conical outer wall and a large spindle suspended from a bearing.
There is a circular propeller at the bottom of the crusher that oscillates, spins around, really fast and compresses the rocks that enter.
For roll crushers, there are two side by side rolls, one fixed and the other can move a little bit from side to side.
The gap between the rollers is what determines the output size of the rocks.
Forcing rocks through these gaps produces a large amount of shear stress on them and causes them to break apart.
Cone Crushers are compression-type crushers that are typically found in secondary crushing stages but can be used as the primary crusher in certain applications.
They handle medium hard to very hard, abrasive materials that can be dry or wet but not sticky.
Cone Crushers are typically found in quarried materials and sand and gravel applications.
The bisection method is a way to estimate solutions for single equations.
When we solve one equation, this method can help us to get a number that is very close to the real solution.
Think about a continuous function F(x).
If the curve of F(x) passes through the x-axis, it means that there must be one specific x number which makes F(x) = 0, in other words, a solution.
But how to judge whether the curve passes the x-axis or not?
We pick one section with lower boundary a1 and upper boundary b1.
Then we calculate F(a) and F(b).
If F(b) has different signal with F(a) (or F(a)*F(b) < 0), the F(x) curve will pass through the x-axis in this section, which means F(x) must have a solution in this section.
In this way, we can estimate a range of the solution.
To make our estimation more precise, we need to shorten the range which contains the solution.
We divide this section into two equal parts: ( a , a/2+b/2) and (a/2+b/2, b).
Then we apply the same method to judge whether there is a solution in each section.
If there is no solutions in one section( F(a)*F(a/2+b/2) > 0 or F(a/2+b/2)*F(b)> 0), we ignore this section.
If there is a solution in one section (F(a)*F(a/2+b/2) < 0 or F(a/2+b/2)*F(b) < 0), we continue to shorten the range until the range is smaller than the error of estimation we expected.
Finally, we take the middle point of the final range as a solution of F(x).
