This investigation uses weekly training distance as the explanatory variable and fitness test total as the response variable. Each table row keeps the two measurements from one case together

Investigate the relationship between weekly training distance and fitness test total using the data below

Each row records one paired observation

The paired values have an approximately straight pattern and no influential outlier

For exercise descriptions of |r|, use below 0.25: little or no linear association; 0.25 to below 0.50: weak; 0.50 to below 0.75: moderate; 0.75 to 1: strong. These are stated conventions, not proof of independence or causation
