Fuel efficiency, measured in miles per gallon, is a measure often considered by shoppers looking for a

new car. The scatterplot shows the vehicle weight of

15 car models in pounds, plotted against their

highway fuel efficiency

How would the value of the correlation coefficient

change if the car weights were recorded in kilograms,

rather than pounds?

decrease

O The value of the correlation coefficient would not

change

O The value of the correlation coefficient could

increase or decrease, depending on the new
