31. A detailed study of the veined squid (Loligo forbesii) by Emam et al. showed several interesting
linear relationships in body proportions. Consider the following related data sets.
Data 1 Mantel Width: 2.5, 2.1, 2.6, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.4
Mantel Length: 0.4, 1.5, 3.7, 3.6, 4.3, 4.5, 4.9

Fin Length: 2.3, 2.4, 3.2, 2.9, 3.8, 4.6, 4.3
(a) Find the correlation of each data set.
(b) Is mantel length or fin length better for predicting mantel width? Explain.
