Karl Pearson's correlation coefficient is calculated by which of the following formula?
A. $$\frac{{{\text{Covariance of X and Y}}}}{{{\text{Var}}{\text{.}}\left( {\text{X}} \right)\,{\text{Var}}{\text{.}}\left( {\text{Y}} \right)}}$$
B. $$\frac{{{\text{Covariance of X and Y}}}}{{\sqrt {{\text{Var}}{\text{.}}\left( {\text{X}} \right)\,{\text{Var}}{\text{.}}\left( {\text{Y}} \right)} }}$$
C. $$\frac{{{\text{Var}}{\text{.}}\left( {\text{X}} \right)\,{\text{Var}}{\text{.}}\left( {\text{Y}} \right)}}{{\sqrt {{\text{Covariance of X and Y}}} }}$$
D. $$\frac{{{\text{Var}}{\text{.}}\left( {\text{X}} \right)\,{\text{Var}}{\text{.}}\left( {\text{Y}} \right)}}{{{\text{Covariance of X and Y}}}}$$
