Note the Fuel and Speed lists from the table to the right. This is data for a British Ford Escort. Speed is measured in kilometers per hour and fuel consumption is measured in liters of gasoline used per 100 kilometers traveled.

As a part of his research he calculates the correlation value for Fuel versus Speed (using Fuel as the response variable) and concludes from its value that Fuel and Speed share a weak linear relationship. Why is it wrong for Eric Lang to use the correlation number in this situation
