For a data set of chest sizes (distance around chest in inches) and weights (pounds) of four anesthetized bears that were measured, the linear correlation coefficient is r=0.995. Use the table available below to find the critical values of r. Based on a comparison of the linear correlation coefficient r and the critical values, what do you conclude about a linear correlation?
