- The relationship between total cholesterol (milligrams per deciliter) and BMI (Ratio of weight in kilograms to height in metres squared) of 20 participants is shown in the scatterplot below along with the least squares regression line. Which of the following statements is correct? a) The relationship between total cholesterol and BMI is linear as can be seen by the random scatter of the data above and below the least squares regression line. Both variables are metric and therefore it is appropriate to use Pearson's correlation to measure the linear association between the two variables. b) The relationship between total cholesterol and BMI is non-linear and since both variables are metric it is appropriate to use Pearson's correlation to measure the linear association between the two variables. c) The relationship between total cholesterol and BMI is non-linear as can be seen by the patterning of points around the least squares regression line and therefore it is not…arrow_forwardWhat is the relationship between the amount of time statistics students study per week and their final exam scores?
