Hi everyone here, we have a question telling us that taller people are mostly heavier than short people. What type of relationship between these two factors? Does this example pertain to a alternative hypothesis? This is incorrect. Be experimental test. This is incorrect. C correlation correlation is a connection between two measurable variables in this case is heightened weight. This relationship is an example of a positive correlation. As high increases. The weight will more than likely increase as well. So our answer is c correlation. D hypothesis is incorrect again, our answer is c correlation. Thank you for watching. Bye.
