    The most appropriate conclusion for Dr. Kline to make is that visiting zoos is not related to more positive attitudes towards environmental conservation

    Explanation:

    Correlation studies the degree of association between two variables, when a correlation coefficient of 0.7 to 1.00 whether negative or positive means that there is a strong degree of association between the variables. A positive correlation means that an increase in one variable will lead to a proportionate increase in the other, while in negative correlation, an increase in one will lead to a decrease in the other.

    In this scenario, a correlation coefficient of 0.17 is low and means that there is no relationship between visiting zoos and having a more positive attitude towards environmental conservation.
