Beta reflects the changes in a stock due to the changes in a market. It provides a relative position of movement in stock to the market.

Change in market = +1.05%

Change in stock = +1.51%

Beta of the stock shall be:

Change in stock / Change in market

1.51 / 1.05

1.438

The beta shall be 1.44 (after rounding off to two decimal places)
