Question

For a biology project, you measure the weight in grams and the tail length in millimeters of a group of mice. The correlation is r = 0.52. If you had measured tail length in centimeters instead of millimeters, what would be the correlation?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correlation coefficient  is r = 0.52

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

            The correlation coefficient  is r = 0.52

 Generally correlation has no unit and is not affected by unit (i.e it show the ratio between two quantities )

Hence a change of the unit of measurement of  length from cm to mm will not affect the correlation coefficient r hence the value will still remain  r = 0.52
