The number of wins for a high school football team is measured for the season. When the team plays at home, it is generally believed that they will win. Comparing the location of the game and the number of wins, a correlation coefficient of 0.891 is calculated. What would this imply about the football team winning at home?

The scatter plot would closely resemble a straight line with a positive slope. The data
causation cannot be determined.
B. The scatter plot would closely resemble a straight
line with a positive slope. The data
has a strong, positive correlation, and a
causal relationship exists between the team playing at home and winning.
C. The scatter plot would not be represented by a line of best fit with positive slope.
There is a weak correlation between the
football team playing at home and winning.
D. There is no causation and almost no correlation between the football team playing at home and winning.
