Question

The table shows the ages and weights of babies at a hospital. A 2-row table with 10 columns. The first row is labeled age (weeks) with entries 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 6, 8, 9, 9. The second row is labeled weight (pounds) with entries 7.5, 7.25, 8.2, 7.95, 8.0, 9.75, 9.25, 8.9, 9.85, 10.0. What is the correlation between age and weight as shown in the table? none positive negative constant

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

The correlation between age and weight  shown in the table is positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

According to the given values, it is found that there is a positive correlation between age and weight.

What is a correlation coefficient?

• It is an index that measures correlation between two variables, assuming values between -1 and 1.

• If it is positive, the relation is positive, that is, they are direct proportional. If it is negative, they are inverse proportional.

• If the absolute value of the correlation coefficient is greater than 0.6, the relationship is strong.

In this problem, when the age increases, so does the weight, hence they have positive correlation.
