Given:

Correlation coefficient = 0.55.

Find-:

Choose correct option

Explanation-:

A correlation coefficient of 0.55 implies a week of positive correlation because it's close to 0.50. Remember that strong correlations are 1 or -1, positive or negative, and the middle of the interval represents no correlation.

So,

Her prediction will be somewhat likely to be close to the actual value.
