A set of data was collected from a large group of professional sportspeople. They were asked the number of hours they trained per week and the amount of money they earned. The results were recorded, and the value of Pearson's correlation coefficient was found to be 0.87.
Which of the following is NOT true?
There is a positive association between the number of hours of training and the amount of money earned.
The increase in the number of training hours causes the increase in the amount of money earned.
The linear relationship between the two variables suggests that as the number of training hours increases, so too does the amount of money earned.
The association between the number of training hours and the amount of money earned can be classified as strong.
