Question 4: Rivers in North Carolina contain small concentrations of mercury that can accumulate in fish over their lifetimes. The concentration of mercury in fish tissue can be obtained by catching fish and sending samples to a lab for analysis. A study was conducted on fish from the Waccamaw and Lumber Rivers to investigate mercury levels in tissues of largemouth bass. At several stations along each river a group of fish were caught, weighed and measured; in addition a filet from each fish was sent to a lab so that the tissue concentration of mercury could be determined. In all, 171 fish were caught at 15 different research stations along the Waccamaw and Lumber Rivers. Data from fish caught at one of these stations is shown in the following table:lengthweight161647.0186248.7285555.7119945.2132044.7122543.8 87038.5145545.8122044.0103340.4Compute the correlation between length and weight for these fish.

Question 4: Rivers in North Carolina contain small concentrations of mercury that can accumulate in fish over their lifetimes. The concentration of mercury in fish tissue can be obtained by catching fish and sending samples to a lab for analysis. A study was conducted on fish from the Waccamaw and Lumber Rivers to investigate mercury levels in tissues of largemouth bass. At several stations along each river a group of fish were caught, weighed and measured; in addition a filet from each fish was sent to a lab so that the tissue concentration of mercury could be determined. In all, 171 fish were caught at 15 different research stations along the Waccamaw and Lumber Rivers. Data from fish caught at one of these stations is shown in the following table:

length	weight
1616	47.0
1862	48.7
2855	55.7
1199	45.2
1320	44.7
1225	43.8
870	38.5
1455	45.8
1220	44.0
1033	40.4

Compute the correlation between length and weight for these fish. (Assume the correlation conditions have been satisfied and round your answer to the nearest 0.001.)
