Each​ month, a government agency releases its latest
estimate of construction activity in the housing industry. A key
measure is the percentage change in the number of new homes under
construction. Does the release of this number come with a change in
the stock​ market? The accompanying data show the percentage
change in the number of​ new, privately owned housing units
started each​ month, as reported by the government agency. The
data also include the percentage change in the​ S&P 500
index on the same day the government agency releases the housing
results.
​(b) Find the correlation between the two variables in the
scatterplot (attached below). What does the size of the correlation
suggest about the strength of the association between
these​ variables?
