A baseball scout wants to assess the talent at 5 local colleges. The scout took the top 6 players at each school and recorded their slugging percentage and average exit velocity of a hit ball. This sample data is provided below. Use Excel to calculate the correlation coefficient \( r \) between the two data sets. Round your answer to two decimal places. \begin{tabular}{|c|c|} \hline Slugging Percentage & Exit Velocity \\ \hline \( 0.386 \) & \( 91.6 \) \\ \hline \( 0.499 \) & \( 89.7 \) \\ \hline \( 0.492 \) & \( 90.4 \) \\ \hline \( 0.43 \) & 86 \\ \hline \( 0.334 \) & \( 84.2 \) \\ \hline \( 0.421 \) & \( 86.9 \) \\ \hline \( 0.396 \) & \( 90.6 \) \\ \hline \( 0.567 \) & \( 91.6 \) \\ \hline \( 0.44 \) & \( 89.3 \) \\ \hline \end{tabular} \begin{tabular}{|c|c|} \hline Slugging Percentage & Exit Velocity \\ \hline \( 0.466 \) & 90 \\ \hline \( 0.522 \) & \( 95.1 \) \\ \hline \( 0.375 \) & \( 88.6 \) \\ \hline \( 0.37 \) & \( 88.4 \) \\ \hline \( 0.489 \) & \( 89.4 \) \\ \hline \( 0.397 \) & \( 87.2 \) \\ \hline \( 0.454 \) & \( 88.2 \) \\ \hline \( 0.293 \) & \( 86.6 \) \\ \hline \( 0.348 \) & 88 \\ \hline \end{tabular} \begin{tabular}{|c|c|} \hline \( 0.365 \) & \( 88.4 \) \\ \hline \( 0.37 \) & \( 86.7 \) \\ \hline \( 0.414 \) & \( 88.8 \) \\ \hline \end{tabular}
