A teacher collected information from a class of 25 students about the time, in hours, they spent studying the previous week and the time, in hours, they spent on the Internet the previous week. The value of the correlation coefficient between hours spent studying and hours spent on the Internet was −0.72. If the teacher changes the units of each variable from hours to minutes, what will be the value of the correlation coefficient between minutes studying and minutes spent on the Internet?

Correlation will not change.

Correlation coefficient = -0.72

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Correlation coefficient between hours spent studying and hours spent on the Internet = -0.72

Properties of correlation coefficient:

Thus, if the units of each variable is changed from hours to minutes, the correlation coefficient remains the same between minutes studying and minutes spent on the Internet.

answer: 2x + 2 − 2 = 10 − 2; subtraction property of equality
