This question is about the coefficient of correlation. Suppose that medical researchers measure the relationship between the number of babies delivered over the last 10 years and the number of Ob-Gyns actively practicing for that same period.... This relationship reports an $$r$$ (sample. coetficient of correlation symbol) $$=.86$$. They also generate an $$r=.95$$ between the number of babies delivered over the last 10 years and the number storks nesting in chimneys. Which statement summarizes these results in the best way (there may be more than 1 correct answer). a) storks could be delivering babies based on the stronger $$r$$ value b) in research, especially for healthcare, the higher $$r$$ value should be given first priority c) c. there is likely an omitted variable that is possibly explaining these results d) d. storks and babies has the higher $$r$$ value and thus should be investigated further for a causal connection e) e. although storks and babies has a higher correlation, this does not imply a causal relationship e) e. although storks and babies has a higher correlation, this does not imply a causal relationship f) f. the only conclusion to reach here is that the availability of Ob-Gyns has caused births to rise g) g. a and b are correct h) h. b and c are correct i) i. c and e are correct j) j. each statement, $$a?f$$, is correct in some way
