Options :
A.) - 0.89
B.) 0.0
C.) 0.89
Answer: 0.89
Step-by-step explanation: Under normal conditions and circumstances, the height of babies or infants typically from the ages of 0 - 10 should increase as they age before the occurrence of a possible stall when they attain a more matured age. Also, negative correlation is almost impossible between both variables at this stage unless due the presence of very rare medical or genetic conditions. Hence, the plausible correlation which is both reasonble and feasible is a strong positive correlation between both variables (age and height) at that particular period.
Looking at the options,
0.0 indicates that there is no correlation between both variables. Which is not feasible
-0. 89 indicates that there is a negative association between age and height( age decreases with height and vice versa) which also seems unlikely.
However, a correlation of 0.89 indicates a strong (Coefficient is closer to 1) positive correlation between age and height. Which is usually the case in almost all situations except for children with special medical condition).
