Question

Which graph has a correlation coefficient, r, closest to 0.95

Answer 1

Answer:

A correlation coeff close to +1 would have a positive slope, and all dots representing the data set would be quite close to the regression line.  

Correlation is a measure of association between two variables. IF there is a perfect linear association then correlation would be nearer to 1.  

Correlation always lies between -1 and +1.

If between-1 and 0 we say there is a negative correlation.

If nearer to 1 than to 0 then we say strong correlation

Here given correlation is 0.95 i.e. positive and have almost perfect linear relation.

Hence we see that Graph C shows almost linear relationship with slope positive

So option C is answer
