Covariance( <List of Numbers>, <List of Numbers> ): Calculates the covariance between the elements of the specified lists.; Example: Covariance({1, 2, 3}, {1, 3, 7}) yields 2, the covariance of {1, 2, 3} and {1, 3, 7}.

Covariance( <List of Points> ): Calculates the covariance between the x and y coordinates of the specified points.; Example: Covariance({(1, 1), (2, 3), (3, 7)}) yields 2, the covariance of {1, 2, 3} and {1, 3, 7}.
