Question: For 19 female bears, the correlation between x = length of the bear (inches) and y = chest girth (inches) is r = 0.82. (Data source: bears-female dataset on the companion website.)
a. Describe how chest girth will change when length is increased.
b. Assuming that there are no outliers and the relationship is linear, explain what the correlation indicates about the strength of the relationship.
c. If the measurements were made in centimeters rather than inches, what would be the value of the correlation coefficient?
