(e) Compute the linear correlation coefficient between the height and
head circumference of a child.
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
(d) Does a linear relation exist between height and head
circumference?
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
OA. Yes, the variables height and head circumference are
positively associated because r is negative and the absolute
value of the correlation coefficient is greater than the critical
value.
