on a book I have find this example, but isn't explain
this is my data

product taste cooking price
A 1 3 3
B 2 1 4
C 4 5 5
D 3 2 2
E 5 4 1


taste 1=better 5=worst
cooking 1=better 5=worst
price 1=expensive 5=cheaper

I have find on book this results about P matrix
1,00 0,60 0,40
P = 0,60 1,00 -0,30
0,40 -0,30 1,00


but i have try to calculate:

product taste cooking d d^2
A 1 3 -2 4
B 2 1 1 1
C 4 5 -1 1
D 3 2 1 1
E 5 4 1 1

sum d^2=8


product taste price d d^2
A 1 3 -2 4
B 2 4 -2 4
C 4 5 -1 1
D 3 2 1 1
E 5 1 4 16

sum d^2=26


product cooking price d d^2
A 3 3 0 0
B 1 4 -3 9
C 5 5 0 0
D 2 2 0 0
E 4 1 3 9

sum d^2=18


1,00 0,60 -0,30
P = 0,60 1,00 0,10
-0,30 0,10 1,00

this is my results

where is my error?

Your correlations are right. The book's are wrong.
