Correlation coefficients are expressed by a number between -1 and 1.
If the value is -1 or 1 it indecates a perfect (negative and positive) correlation.
If the value is 0 indicates null correlation.
As the correlation value for you data set is -0.833 it is very close to the -1. It indicates a good correlation in the data. Then, the value you predicted is reasonably close to the actual value.

Answer:
The number of fishing boats in the bay = 64.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of sailboats = 24
Let us assume the number if fishing boats in the bay = m
⇒ Ratio of fishing boats to sailboats in a bay = m : 24.
Now, the ratio of fishing boats to sailboats in a bay is 8 : 3.
So, by the RATIO OF PROPORTION:
⇒ m = 64
Hence the number of fishing boats in the bay = 64.
