On an international​ exam, students are asked to respond to a variety of background questions. For the 41 nations that participated in the​ exam, the correlation between the percentage of items answered in the background questionnaire​ (used as a proxy for student task​ persistence) and mean score on the exam was 0.714. Does this suggest there is a linear relation between student task persistence and achievement​ score? Write a sentence that explains what this result might mean.

Does this suggest there is a linear relation between student task persistence and achievement​ score? Choose the best response below. ​Yes, since 0.714 is greater than the critical value for 30. What does this result​ mean? A. Countries in which students answered a greater percentage of items in the background questionnaire tended to have higher mean scores on the exam
