5 The speed \(v \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) of a car at time \(t\) seconds after it starts to accelerate was measured at 1 -second intervals. The results are shown in the following diagram.

- State whether \(t\) or \(v\) or neither is a controlled variable.
The value of the product moment correlation coefficient \(r\) for the data is 0.987 correct to 3 significant figures.
- The speed of the car is converted to miles per hour and the time to minutes. State the value of \(r\) for the converted data.
- State the value of Spearman's rank correlation coefficient \(r _ { s }\) for the data.
- What information does \(r\) give about the data that is not given by \(r _ { s }\) ?
