Suppose the Heights of Teenagers Were Recorded in 2003 and Then

Essay

Suppose the heights of teenagers were recorded in 2003 and then recorded again 5 years later, in 2008. For each person, the height in 2008 was 6 inches (15.24 centimeters) taller than the height in 2003. For example, a teenager who was 53 inches (134.62 cm) tall in 2003 measured at a height of 59 inches (149.86 cm) in 2008. What would be the correlation coefficient between the 2003 heights and the 2008 heights? Explain your reasoning.
