Archeologists have long felt that there should be a positive linear correlation between the
lengths of the femur and the lengths of the humerus in these extinct creatures.
What do the above data suggest?
(A) A positive correlation is likely because lengths of bones in any animal are always
positively correlated.
(B) A positive corelation is likely at the 5% level of significance.
(C) There is no significant positive correlation at the 1% level of significance.
(D) There is no significant positive correlation at the 5% level of significance.
