    So, this code gives -0.68, which is wrong.

    #!/usr/bin/python import random,scipy.stats

    x=[] y=[] for _ in range(1000000): z=random.random() x.append(z) y.append((-3*z-8)/4.0) for _ in range(1000000): z=random.random() x.append(z) y.append((-4*z-7)/3.0)

    a,b = scipy.stats.pearsonr(x,y) print('%.2f'%(a))

      Eh, so, I was able to solve this problem.

      When scipy.stats.linregress(x,y)[0] and scipy.stats.linregress(y,x)[0] are both -0.75, answer scipy.stats.pearsonr(x,y)[0].

      The problem statement is too difficult to understand...

        I just get error when I submit the code and prints nothing when I run the code. Of course I have populated the x and y lists, tried your random population method too, but nothing. Any thoughts thanks a lot

        a,b = scipy.stats.pearsonr(x,y) print('%.2f'%(a))
