This correlation suggests? A. A very strong relationship; as reading to children increases, reading ability increases B.a very weak relationship;as reading to children increases, reading ability decrease slightly C. Almost no relationship D.unable to tell without knowing the number of participants Assume you conduct a study to evaluate the relationship between the amount of time a child is read to and reading ability at age 15.

Explanation / Answer

A can be eliminated straightaway as the value of r is very very small. D also can be eliminated as the sample size will only help it in making it more accurate, the value will not change subtantially.

In B it says as reading increases, reading ability decreases, which indicates a negative relationship, but r is positive, so B is also incorrect.

C. Almost no relationship is the correct answer.
