Question

using dataset bodyfat which gives percent of weight made up for body fat for 100 men as well as variables such as age, weight(in pounds), height( in inches) and circumference in centimeters measurements for the neck, chest, abdomen, ankle, biceps and wrist

which scatterplot the one using weight or the one using abdomen appears to contain data with a larger correlation?

one person has a very large abdomen circumference for the person with about 40% body fat. estimate residual for this person
abdomen circumference =

Answer 1

The graph two Abdomen Vs Bodyfat has higher value of correlation coefficient as the points in this graph are clustered more around the straight line as compared to the graph 1 in which weight has used where the points are more scatter as compare to the other graph.

Therefore,  The correlation between Abdomen and Body fat has higher value of correlation as it has the more strong relationship.
