To determine

To rank the correlations between the pairs given in the question from highest to lowest and explain the reasoning.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 4.17E

The order of the correlations from highest to lowest is then:

1) height of femalesand age 4/18 .

2) height of fathers/adult sons

3) height of husband/wives

Explanation of Solution

We would expect the correlation of unrelated people to be lowest, while the correlation of the same person to be highest: Thus the order of the correlations from highest to lowest is then:

1) height of femalesand age 4/18 .

2) height of fathers/adult sons

3) height of husband/wives
