Answer 1

correlation coefficient of the data ---->strong negative linear correlation

interpretation of the correlation coefficient ----> -0.986

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

Given is table as follows

1500 75

2800 73

3500 72

4500 70

5000 66

6000 63

8000 60

8500 60

9000 57

9500 55

r -0.98649651

We get correlation coefficient is negative and near -1

Hence there is a strong negative correlation.

Whenever x increases y decreases with almost constant slope.
