The consumption function captures one of the key relationships in economics. It expresses consumption as a function of disposal income, where disposable income is income after
taxes. The attached file "Regression-Dataset1" shows data of average US annual consumption (in $) and disposable income (in $) for the years 2000 to 2016.
a)what is the Pearson correlation value between income and consumption?
Select one:
Ⓒa. 0.978
b. 0.109
c. None of the above
d. 0.791
