i. Identify the independent and dependent variables.ii. Calculate and interpret the Pearson correlation coefficient r for the paired data. Be sure to indicate if the correlation is positive or negative, and whether it is strong, moderate, or weak, or if there does not appear to be any significant correlation.A nutrition researcher performs a study where 12 overweight adult males are each assigned a certain number of minutes of monitored treadmill running every day and their weight loss (in lb) after two weeks is recorded. All the participants were approximately the same weight to begin, were given a controlled diet to eat, and the speed of the treadmill was the same for all participants.1) independent variable: Number of minutes Weight lost Dependent variable: Number of minutes Weight lost 2) Pearson correlation coefficients (r)Correlation: Positive Negative Neither Correlation strength :Strong Moderate Weak No significant correlation
