Suppose the correlation between height and weight for adults is 0.80. What proportion (or percent) of the variability in weight can be explained by the relationship with height

Respuesta :

Answer: 64% of the variability in weight can be explained by the relationship with height.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • In statistics, Correlation coefficient is denoted by 'r' is a measure of the strength of the relationship between two variables.
  • Coefficient of determination, [tex]r^2[/tex], is a measure of variability in one variable can be explained variation in the other.

Here, r= 0.80

[tex]\Rightarrow\ r^2= (0.80)^2=0.64[/tex]

That means 64% of the variability in weight can be explained by the relationship with height.

The variability in weight is 64 % , explained by the relationship with height.

Correlation coefficients are always values between -1 and 1, where -1 shows a perfect, linear negative correlation, and 1 shows a perfect, linear positive correlation.

The correlation coefficient is measure the strength of the linear relationship between two variables in a correlation analysis.

Correlation coefficient is represented by r.

Given that, the correlation between height and weight for adults is 0.80.

                   [tex]r=0.8[/tex]

The variability in weight is, = [tex]r^{2}=(0.8)^{2} =0.64[/tex]

Thus, the variability in weight is 64 % , explained by the relationship with height.
