I keep getting an error on my correlation coefficient on line 20

% Given data

x = [0, 2, 4, 6, 9, 11, 12, 15, 17, 19];

y = [5, 6, 7, 6, 9, 8, 8, 10, 12, 12];

% Least-squares regression for a straight line

A = [x', ones(size(x'))];

b = y';

coefficients = A\b; % Compute the slope and intercept

slope = coefficients(1);

intercept = coefficients(2);

% Calculate the fitted values

y_fit = slope * x + intercept;

% Calculate the standard error of the estimate

error = y - y_fit;

standard_error = sqrt(sum(error.^2) / (length(x) - 2));

% Calculate the correlation coefficient

correlation_coefficient = corr(x', y');

% Plot the data and regression line

scatter(x, y, 'o', 'filled');

hold on;

plot(x, y_fit, 'r', 'LineWidth', 2);

hold off;

xlabel('x');

ylabel('y');

There is no error running here(see below). Can you show your error message?

% Given data
x = [0, 2, 4, 6, 9, 11, 12, 15, 17, 19];
y = [5, 6, 7, 6, 9, 8, 8, 10, 12, 12];
% Least-squares regression for a straight line
A = [x', ones(size(x'))];
b = y';
coefficients = A\b; % Compute the slope and intercept
slope = coefficients(1);
intercept = coefficients(2);
% Calculate the fitted values
y_fit = slope * x + intercept;
% Calculate the standard error of the estimate
error = y - y_fit;
standard_error = sqrt(sum(error.^2) / (length(x) - 2));
% Calculate the correlation coefficient
correlation_coefficient = corr(x', y');
% Plot the data and regression line
scatter(x, y, 'o', 'filled');
hold on;
plot(x, y_fit, 'r', 'LineWidth', 2);
hold off;
xlabel('x');
ylabel('y');

Error in Patrick_B_Homework8_9_2 (line 20)

correlation_coefficient = corr(x', y');

This is the error message

Try the following:

• do "clear" before running your program
• which corr
• run "dbstop error" before running your program
