Question

In a study conducted to examine the quality of fish after 7 days in ice​ storage, ten raw fish of the same kind and approximately the same size were caught and prepared for ice storage. The fish were placed in ice storage at different times after being caught. A measure of fish quality was given to each fish after 7 days in ice storage. Review the accompanying sample data and​ scatterplot, where​ "Time" is the number of hours after being caught that the fish was placed in ice storage and​ "Fish Quality" is the measure given to each fish after 7 days in ice storage​ (higher numbers mean better​ quality). Is it appropriate to use the correlation coefficient to describe the strength of the relationship between​ "Time" and​ "Fish Quality"?

Answer 1

Question: The sample data and the scatter plot was not added to your question. See the attached file for the scatter plot.

Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

From scatter plot, it was discovered that there is a linear relationship between the two variables and both variables are quantitative.

Therefore, it appropriate to use the correlation coefficient to describe the strength of the relationship between​ "Time" and​ "Fish Quality"?
