It is believed that the height of the taller parent is related to the height of the tallest child. To test this, a random sample of 5 families were selected and the height of the
tallest parent, to the nearest inch, and the height of the tallest adult child, to the nearest
inch, were recorded. The results of the sample are listed in the table.
Height of tallest parent 61 63 68 70 72 74
Height of tallest child 62 63 71 72 68 76
Which of the following is the value of the correlation between the height of the tallest
parent and the height of the tallest adult child?

depending on others is critical to survival. my source is apex!

step-by-step explanation:

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
