If women always married men who were 2 years older
than themselves, what would the correlation between the ages
of husband and wife be?
(a) 2
(b) 1
(c) 0.5
(d) 0
(e) Can't tell without seeing the data
If you were to create a scatterplot using sample ages such as : (30,32),(33,35),(47,49), etc. You will begin to see a perfect linear relationship, which would mean the correct correlation is 1.
