coefficient.
To derive true variance, you square the correlation coefficient and
then multiply the result by 100.
To derive true variance, you multiply the correlation coefficient by 100
and then take the square root.
To derive true variance, you subtract the correlation coefficient from
100 and then square it.
To derive true variance, you add the correlation coefficient to 100 and
then square it.

rather than children.
