What is the correlation coefficient between age and salary?

[Natasha1]

Could some one please help me with the following question.

The ages and salaries (in thousands of $) of 10 employees in a firm are given below.

Age - Salary
28 - 17
31 - 22
31 - 28
35 - 20
40 - 26
44 - 30
45 - 32
48 - 18
53 - 33
67 - 42

What is the correlation coefficient between age and salary? (Giving enough detail to understand the proceedings)

Comment on its value (referring maybe back to the data, to note any individuals who figures make a particular contribution to the value of the coefficient)
