Answer:
The coefficient of correlation does not change.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
The daily intake food is measured in ounces.
The body weight is measured in pounds.
Correlation between food intake and body weight = 0.80
Properties of correlation:
- Correlation is a technique that help us to find or define a relationship between two variables.
- It is a measure of linear relationship between two quantities.
- The correlation between two variables is not effected by the units of the variable.
- Even if the variable of the explanatory variable or the response variable changes, the correlation does not not change and remains same.
Conclusion:
A shift in units from ounces to grams and from pounds to kilogram does not change the value of coefficient of correlation.
