Question: Jumps 2004. How are Olympic performances in various events related? The plot shows winning long-jump and high-jump distances, in inches, for the Summer Olympics from 1912 through 2004.
a) Describe the association.
b) Do long-jump performances somehow influence the high-jumpers? How do you account for the relationship you see?
c) The correlation for the given scatterplot is 0.925, but at the Olympics these jumps are actually measured in meters rather than inches. Does that make the actual correlation higher or lower?
d) What would you predict about the long jump in a year when the high-jumper jumped one standard deviation better than the average high jump?
