A study is conducted on the causes of flat feet,and shows a linear relation between age and having mechanical disturbances of the foot.The correlation between these two variables is 0.84.The report concludes that older people have greater chances to have flat feet.Is the calculation of the correlation appropriate?
A) No: having mechanical disturbances of the foot is a categorical variable.
B) Yes: the two variables are quantitative.
C) No: having mechanical disturbances of the foot is a response variable.
D) Yes: correlation is less than 1.
E) Yes: age is a quantitative variable.
Mechanical Disturbances
Disturbances or disruptions caused by mechanical sources, such as machinery or equipment failure.
Correlation
A statistical measure that indicates the extent to which two or more variables fluctuate together, revealing whether and how strongly pairs of variables are related.
- Capture the essence of correlation in determining the intensity and orientation of links among variables.
- Acknowledge the restrictions of correlations and the necessity of evaluating linearity and quantitative variables.
