Step-by-step explanation:

I just did the instructions and I got it right :)

Answer 2

Positive values of r show a positive correlation and negative values of r show negative correlation.

Values of r near 1 or -1 represent strong correlation and values of r close to 0 represent weak correlation.

The given value of r = 0.17.
This value is positive and close to 0. Therefore, it describes a weak positive association between the two variables
