Part A: What is the most likely value of the correlation coefficient of the data in the table? Based on the correlation coefficient, describe the relationship between time and distance traveled by the toy car. (4 points)
[Choose the value of correlation coefficient from 1, 0.99, 0.5, 0.02]

Part B: What is the value of the slope of the graph of distance versus time between 10 minutes and 30 minutes, and what does the slope represent? (3 points)

Part C: Does the data in the table represent correlation or causation? Explain your answer. (3 points)

1.00 - Does it EXACTLY fit a linear model?
0.99 - Is it REALLY CLOSE to a linear model?
0.50 - Is it vaguely in the same direction?
0.02 - Does it bear no resemblance at all?

@jim_thompson5910 can you help?  I got the correlation coefficient is 0.99 for Part A but I don't understand it's relationship between time and distance traveled by the toy car.

Did you calculate the slope?  What linear model did you use the caused you to answer 0.99 for Correlation?

I'm still on Part A.. and I used a correlation coefficient calculator @tkhunny
