Twenty different statistics students are randomly selected. For each of them, their body temperature (°C) (°C) is measured and their head circumference (cm) is measured.   For this sample of paired data, what does r represent, and what does ρ ρ represent?   Without doing any research or calculations, estimate the value of r. Does r change if the body temperatures are converted to Fahrenheit degrees?
