Historically, hair has been considered class evidence because a hair specimen could not be identified with certainty as having originated from a particular person. A forensic scientist who studied the morphology (shape, form, and structure) of a hair specimen could testify as to the gross physical characteristics of the hair (color, degree of curl, etc.), its internal and external structural characteristics, the likely somatic region from which the hair originated (scalp, beard, pubic, axillary, etc.), and–at least for scalp hair, and often for pubic hair, the probable race of the person from whom the hair originated. But all of those are class characteristics rather than individual characteristics, so the most the forensic scientist can state based on morphological examination is that a hair specimen is “consistent with” or “similar in all respect to” another specimen.
Answer:
Explanation:
The <em>correlation coefficient</em> is a measure of the linear association between two variables.
It is a dimensionless value bettween - 1 and +1. Hence, it does not depend on the units that are used to measure the data.
You can see the formula to calculate the correlation coefficient in the attached picture.
There you see that the numerator containts the sum of the differences of the values of the x-variable with its the mean, multiplied by the sum of the differences of the values of the y variable with its mean, while the denominator contains the square root of the product of the squares of the same differences, thus the units are canceled.
In conclusion,<em> If the teacher changes the units of each variable from hours to minutes, the value of the correlation coefficient between minutes studying and minutes spent on the Internet will not change</em>; it will continue being <em>−0.72.</em>
