In a study of 2005 Math SAT scores, the Educational Testing Service computed the average score for each of the 51 states, and the percentage of the high-school seniors in that state who took the test. (For these purposes, D.C. counts as a state.) As part of the study described above, the Educational Testing Service computed the average Verbal SAT score for each state, as well as the average Math SAT score for each state. The correlation between these 51 pairs of averages was 0.97. Would the correlation between the Math SAT and the Verbal SAT -computed from the data on all the individuals who took the tests- be larger than 0.97, about 0.97, or less than 0.97? O larger than 0.97 O about 0.97 less than 0.97
