Answer:

The correlation coefficient is close to -1. There is a strong negative correlation between the amount of time spent working out and the amount of weight lost.

Explanation:

I did it on USATestprep. -0.9547 is close to -1. This indicates a strong negative correlation. When the workout time increases, Jason's weight decreases.
