The table below shows the correlation output for two variables: 'Age of Woman' and 'Weight at birth \( { }^{2} \) where the latter refers to the woman's newborn baby. Study the table then answer the question. \begin{tabular}{l|l|r|r} \hline & & Correlations \\ & \begin{tabular}{c} Weight at birth \\ (Kilograms) \end{tabular} & Age of woman \\ \hline Pearson Correlation & Weight at birth (Kilograms) & 1.000 & .024 \\ \hline Sig. (1-tailed) & Age of woman & .024 & 1.000 \\ \hline N & Weight at birth (Kilograms) & & 293 \\ \hline & Age of woman & .293 & \\ \hline & Weight at birth (Kilograms) & 510 & 510 \\ \hline & Age of woman & 510 & 510 \\ \hline \end{tabular} Which one of the following best describes the strength of the correlation coefficient? a. Moderate b. Perfectly correlated c. Strong d. Weak
