The 1st scatter plot shows a correlation coefficient of r = -0.61.
Here are some of the features of a scatter plot with a correlation coefficient of -0.61:
The points are generally clustered around a downward-sloping line, indicating a negative relationship between the two variables.
The points are not tightly clustered around the line, but there is a clear trend.
The spread of the points is moderate, neither too narrow nor too wide.
The other scatter plots in the image do not have a correlation coefficient of -0.61. The scatter plot (labeled 2) has a correlation coefficient closer to 0, indicating no linear relationship between the two variables. The scatter plots (labeled 3 and 4) have correlation coefficients closer to -1, indicating a strong negative linear relationship between the two variables.
Therefore, the 1st scatter plot is the one that shows a correlation coefficient of r = -0.61.
