For each problem, select the best response. (a) For a biology project, you measure the weight in grams and the tail length in millimeters of a group of mice. The correlation is r = 0.2. If you had measured tail length in centimeters instead of millimeters, what would be the correlation? (There are 10 millimeters in a centimeter.) A. 0.2/10 = 0.02 B. 0.2 C. (0.2)(10) = 2 D. None of the above. (b) A study found a correlation of r = -0.61 between the gender of a worker and his or her income. You may correctly conclude A. women earn less than men on average. B. this is incorrect because r makes no sense here. C. an arithmetic mistake was made. Correlation must be positive. D. women earn more than men on average. E. None of the above.
