Greta is a researcher interested in whether science vocabulary supports science learning. In 2002, Greta measured the number of science words that 100 different 5-year-old children knew. Twelve years later, in 2019, those 100 children are now graduating high school and they just took a standardized science test. Greta asks them if she can access their scores on the standardized science test and all 100 individuals agreed. When Greta plots the number of science words the 100 individuals knew at age 5 against the individuals’ scores on the standardized science test at age 17, she observed the following graph: Greta’s data indicates that there is ____________ between science vocabulary at age 5 and standardized science test performance at age 17.
