How strong is the relationship between the first and second columns $($# accidents and

performance$)?$ Use a numerical estimate based on the slides $($i$.$e$.,$ correlation coefficients$),$

and describe how to interpret it$.$

Note that I$\text{'}$m not asking you to calculate the actual correlation, but I want you to show me

you understand the strength of correlations based on a rough estimate of what correlation

coefficient this relationship might be$.$

Give enough detail that I can check your understanding.
