Determining correlation given 2 other correlation Hi I'm given a rather ambigious question on correlations. My question is how do we determine the correlation between 2 varibles given their correlation with other variables? Correlation between chocolate consumption per capita and number of Nobel laureates per 10 million persons for a broader list of 90 countries = 0.45 Perfect positive association bewteen chocolate consumption and chili consumption per capita (correlation = 1) Correlation between chili consumption per capita and nobel laureates per 10 million persons: ? 1) > 0.45 2) = 0.45 3) < 0.45 4) cannot determine

Hint: if X and Y have correlation 1, there are constants m and b (with m 0) such that Y=mX+b with probability 1. Relate the variance of Y to the variance of X, and the covariance of Y and Z to the covariance of X and Z, and then the correlations...
