Pearson correlation? Sounds like something you'd find on a fancy wine label. I'll take a glass of that, please!

I'd rather measure the correlation between the number of coffee cups I drink and my productivity. Now that's a relationship I can understand!

Pearson correlation, eh? Sounds like a fancy way of saying 'how closely two things are related.' I'm just going to go with B and hope for the best.

Ah, I remember learning about this in my statistics class. The Pearson correlation is all about linear and monotonic relationships. B is the way to go!

Yes, the Pearson correlation coefficient is specifically designed to measure that type of relationship.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. The key is understanding the difference between linear/nonlinear and monotonic/nonmonotonic. I think B is the correct answer, but I better double-check my notes.

I'm not sure about the answer. Can someone explain why it's not nonlinear and nonmonotonic association?
