The best description of a scatter plot in which the variables correlated with r=-0.96. We have to identify the best description of a scatter plot.
A very strong correlation would be anything nearer to 1, so positive 0.8 to positive 1, or negative 0.8 to negative 1.
Since r=-0.96 is the value which is nearer to negative 0.78 to negative 1.
Therefore, Strong negative correlation describes the best description of a scatter plot in which the variables correlated with r=-0.96.
