Answer: strong positive correlation

Step-by-step explanation:

A positive correlation exists when the correlation coefficient that we've is greater than 0. This means that both variables that are given move in the same direction.

Since the correlation between the number of hours Brad studies and the grades he gets is 0.8, it means that there's a strong positive correlation due to the fact that the value is close to +1.

This means that the number of hours that Brad studied is a good predictor of

the grade that he gets in his examination but it's not perfect.
