Answer: a. The correlation coefficient of the data is positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimated slope of sample regression line  = \dfrac{Upper \ limit + lower\ limit}{2}

Here , confidence interval :  (-0.181, 1.529)

Estimated slope of sample regression line  = \dfrac{-0.181+1.529}{2}

=\dfrac{1.348}{2}\\\\=0.674\ \ \ \ [\text{ positive}]

⇒Correlation coefficient(r) must be positive, So a. is true.

But, d. and e. are wrong(0.674 ≠ 0 or 1.348).

We cannot check residuals or its sum from confidence interval of slope of a regression line, so b is wrong.

We cannot say that scatterplot is linear as we cannot determine it from interval, so c. is wrong

So, the correct option : a. The correlation coefficient of the data is positive.
