An organization that tracks crime statistics reports that cars of make A model U, make A model V, and make B model W are the cars most frequently reported stolen, while cars of make C model X, make D model Y, and make E model Z are stolen least often. Is it reasonable to say that there's a correlation between the type of car a person owns and the risk that it will be stolen? Choose the correct answer below. O A. No, since the type of car a person owns is not a quantitative variable. O B. No, since there are too few data points to use correlation. C. Yes, since it is reasonable to find a correlation between any two variables. O D. No, because there is clearly no association between the two variables. O E. Yes, since there is clearly an association between the two variables.
