Since it is given that it costs $2.34 for every $1000 face value, and it was given that he wanted to buy a $75000 plan, multiplying $2.34 by 75 (75000 includes 75 $1000 face value), it should yield us the annual premium.
2.34 * 75 = $175.50
We don't need to multiply it by 10 years as only the annual premium is being solved for.
Positive correlation means that if x goes up then y goes up, negative correlation means that if x goes up then y goes down. Since both x and y are increasing each time, it is positive.
