OpenStudy (jessicawade):

All but one of the following statements contains a blunder. Which statement is correct? We found a correlation of r=-.63 between gender and political party preference. There is a correlation of 0.54 between the position a football player plays and their weight. The correlation between the gas mileage of a car and its weight is r=0.71 miles per gallon. We found a high correlation (r= 0.91) between the age and height of children. The correlation between planting rate and yield was found to be r=0.23.

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

it might 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm give me a minute dear.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C should be the answer (four) "We found a high correlation (r=0.91) between the age and height of children." height being genetic it doesn't have anything to do with age but hereditary genes carried from the parents of the said children.
