Marcus measured the height, in inches, y, of plants over the course of 3 weeks. The correlation coefficient between the number of days, x, and the height of the plants is 0.85. Which could be concluded based on the correlation coefficient of the data

Respuesta :

The statement "there is a strong relationship showing that as the number of days increases, the height of the plants increases" is correct.

What is the correlation?

It is defined as the relation between two variables, which is a quantitative type and gives an idea about the direction of these two variables.

[tex]\rm r = \dfrac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{{[n\sum x^2- (\sum x)^2]}}\sqrt{[n\sum y^2- (\sum y)^2]}}[/tex]

 

Here, the value of the correlation coefficient is 0.85

As we know, when the value of r is near to 1, the correlation is strong.

And when r > 1, the relation between x and y such that as x increases, y also increases.

Thus, the statement "there is a strong relationship showing that as the number of days increases, the height of the plants increases" is correct.
