- Twenty different statistics students are randomly selected. For each of them, their body temperature (°C) is measured and their head circumference (cm) is measured. a. For this sample of paired data, what does r represent, and what does ρ represent? b. Without doing any research or calculations, estimate the value of r. c. Does r change if body temperatures are converted to Fahrenheit degrees? Question content area bottom Part 1 a. Choose the correct answer below. A. r is a parameter that represents the value of the linear correlation coefficient that would be computed by using all of the paired data in the population of all statistics students, and ρ is a statistic that represents the value of the linear correlation coefficient computed from the paired sample data. B. r is a statistic that represents the proportion of the variation in head circumference that can be explained by variation in body temperature, and ρ is a parameter that represents…arrow_forwardChoose the correct statement about the following histogram. 1.
