Which scatterplot has a correlation coefficient closest to r = 1?
2 answers:
Answer:
The scatter diagram that contains the correlation coefficient closest to r = 1 is the first one shown in the attached images.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correlation coefficient "r" measures how much two variables x and y are related. When the variables are highly related, the value of r is closer to one and the points contained in the scatter diagrams are assimilated more and more to a line. When the value of r is positive the relation is crescent and therefore the slope of the line drawn by the points in the diagram has a positive slope
Therefore, to answer this question, one must search among the attached images for the dispersion diagram in which the points resemble a straight line with a positive slope.
The scatter diagram that meets the requirements mentioned is the first one that appears in the attached images

- Football = 30%
- Other games = Remaining (?)
So, the percent of people who like <u>other games</u> equals:
= 100 – (55 + 30)
= 100 – 85
= 15%

★ Cricket
= 60,00,000 × 55/100
= 33,00,000
★ Football
= 60,00,000 × 30/100
= 18,00,000
★ Other sports
= 60,00,000 × 15/100
= 9,00,000
