Justified:

C) There are several outliers in the scatterplot of Income vs Education

D) Whether we measure age in years or months, correlation will be same

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlation is the statistical relationship of co-movement between two variables

Not Justified : Income does not directly vary (increase with rise) in age, at all age levels. Eg - Education doesn't increase with income at childhood age, at old age Nit justified : The relationship between variables could be non straight i. e non linear also. Eg - It could be quadratic Justified : Some people having exceptional Age, Income relationship. Eg - people working after retirement age Justified : Correlation stays independent of unit of measurement, it is just based on co-variation in the variables
