In each case state whether you expect the two variables x and y indicated to have positive, negative, or zero correlation. A. the number x of pages in a book and the age y of the author B. the number x of pages in a book and the age y of the intended reader C. the weight x of an automobile and the fuel economy y in miles per gallon D. the weight x of an automobile and the reading y on its odometer E. the amount x of a sedative a person took an hour ago and the time y it takes him to respond to a stimulus

If the correlation coefficient between variables x and y equals zero, what can be stated about relationship between the variables? Multiple Choice x causes y. The variables are not related. The variables are highly related. The variables are dependent on each other.

In Statistics, we say that: no association between two variables X and Y means that their correlation is zero, however a zero correlation between two variables X and Y does not mean that there is no association between the variables. a. Can you provide a small example where the correlation between two variables is zero, but they are associated? The example could be a numerical example or a theoretical example or a drawing of the relationship between the variables (first two options are preferred). b. Can you name a distribution where zero correlation indeed means no association?
