Researchers studying anthropometry collected body girth measurements and skeletal diameter measurements, as well as age, weight, height and gender for 507 physically active individuals. The scatterplot below shows the relationship between height and shoulder girth (over deltoid muscles), both measured in centimeters.

(a) Describe the relationship between shoulder girth and height.

(b) How would the relationship change if shoulder girth was measured in inches while the units of height remained in centimeters?
