Question

part: 1 / 4
part 2 of 4
(b) compute the correlation coefficient between the height and weight of the quarterbacks. round the answer to at least three decimal places.
the correlation coefficient is r = 0.504
part: 2 / 4
part 3 of 4
(c) if a quarterback is below average in height, would you expect him to be above average or below average in weight? explain.
if a quarterback is below average in height, i would expect the quarterback to be below average in weight since r is positive.
