Question

Which phrase is the best description of a scatter plot in which the variables correlated with r=-0.96?

Answer 1

Weak negative correlation

Answer 2

The best description of a scatter plot in which the variables correlated with r=-0.96. We have to identify the best description of a scatter plot.

A very strong correlation would be anything nearer to 1, so positive 0.8 to positive 1, or negative 0.8 to negative 1.

Since r=-0.96 is the value which is nearer to negative 0.78 to negative 1.

Therefore, Strong negative correlation describes the best description of a scatter plot in which the variables correlated with r=-0.96.
