Question

Donald was trying to figure out why certain basketball players got more rebounds in a basketball game. He decided to model the number of rebounds with the heights

of the players. The correlation coefficient is calculated to be r = 0.91.
What conclusion can Donald make about the strength of a relationship?
o It completely explains why some players get more rebounds than others.
That height has a lot to do with how many rebounds a person gets.
That height doesn't explain very well which players get more rebounds.
This coefficient does not give us any information about the strength of the relationship.

Answer 1

It’s a strong relationship. I had statistics last year. The closer it is to 1, the stronger the relationship is, the closer to zero it is, the weaker the relationship is.
