The statement that would be true if the correlation coefficient between a baby’s weight and the number of coffee shops in Plumville is 0.87 would be: B.As the baby gains weight, the number of coffee shops tends to increase.
The correlation coefficient had the score between -1 to 1. If the correlation if more than 0, it is a positive correlation and if the correlation is less than 0, it is a negative correlation. This mean that a correlation score of 0.87 means that number of coffee shops and baby's weight are positively correlated. (when one increase, the other would also be increased)
