Question

Consider the graph below.(3,1) (4,2) (6,3) (4,4) (8,5) Which correlation coefficient and interpretation best represent the given points?1.) 0.625, no correlation 2.) 0.791. no correlation 3.) 0.625, positive correlation4.) 0.791. positive correlation

Answer 1

Given the information on the problem,we have that the correlation coefficient of the data given is:

`r=\frac{\sum^{}_{}(x-\bar{y})(y-\bar{x})}{\sqrt[]{SS_x\cdot SSy}}=\frac{10}{\sqrt[]{16\cdot10}}=0.79`

therefore, the value of the correlation coeficient is 0.79, which shows a strong positive correlation
