The function COVAR does not calculate the "sample covariance" but the covariance
which based on the total. It works the same way than Excel. (For description for
Excel see http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/excel/HP052090361033.aspx).
You find the definition of covariance in
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Covariance.html.
The German Wikipedia article
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kovarianz_%28Stochastik%29 gives you a clearer
description than the English one.
