(a) Display the data in a scatter plot.
(b) Calculate the sample correlation coefficient r.
r=_______________________
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
(c) Describe the type of correlation, if any, and interpret the correlation in the context of the data.
There is__________linear correlation.
Interpret the correlation. Choose the correct answer below.
A .As high school girls' heights increase, their IQ scores tend to increase.
B. Based on the correlation, there does not appear to be any relationship between high school girls' heights and their IQ scores.
C. As high school girls' heights increase, their IQ scores tend to decrease.
D. Increases in high school girls' heights cause their IQ scores to decrease.
E. Based on the correlation, there does not appear to be a linear relationship between high school girls' heights and their IQ scores.
F. Increases in high school girls' heights cause their IQ scores to increase.
(d) Use the table of critical values for the Pearson correlation coefficient to make a conclusion about the correlation coefficient. Let α=0.01.
The critical value is_________ (Round to three decimal places)
Therefore, there is ( is or is not) ________sufficient evidence at the
1% level of significance to conclude that_________________ (there is significant correlation or there is no correlation)
between high school girls' heights and their IQ scores.
