Question:

Refer back to Exercise 10.1.17, which explores the association between children’s heights and (biological) fathers’ heights. The data file DadandChildHeights contains data for students in a statistics class on the following two variables: student’s height (inches) and biological father’s height (inches).
a. State in words the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses to test whether there is an association between a person’s height and their biological father’s height.
b. Describe how one might use everyday items (for example, coins, dice, cards, etc.) to conduct a tactile simulation-based test of the hypotheses. Be sure to clearly describe how the p-value will be computed from the simulation.
