Answer 1

Answer:

B) -0.98

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlation coefficient is usually denoted with numbers ranging from 1 to -1. Automatically, this eliminates option C) as our possible answer, since -1.43 is outside the range.

The trend shown in the scatter plot describes a negative relationship because, as the values in the Y-axis decreases, the values at the X-axis increases. The possible correlation coefficient we are likely to get is one that is negative. This eliminates option A and option and option D is our possible correlation coefficient for the scatter plot given since both values are positive.

Option B) -0.98, best represents the correlation coefficient of the given scatter plot. Since the points on the scatter plot seem closely aligned on a straight line, a negative value if -0.98 is mostly the possible one to get.
