A pediatrician wants to determine the relation that may exist between a child's height and head circumference. She randomly selects 8 children from her practice, measures their height and head circumference and obtains the data shown below.

What effect did the conversion have on the linear correlation coefficient? Convert the last four data values to centimeters. (Type integers or decimals. Do not round. List the terms in the same order as they appear in the original list)
