Look at the attached image.
Your data looks closest to which one of those three?
First, second, or third?
first
Yes. The first has a correlation coefficient of what? It is shown on the "look at this" image.
where would the correlation coefficient be located?
Circled in blue on the image.
oh ok
So what is the correlation coefficient on the image?
What did you read it to be?
It can't be zero right? cause it has to be over +1.00?
The coefficient of correlation number is between and including -1 to +1. You said that the data in your problem looks most like the first image.
That image had a coefficient of correlation of 1. So, your data has a coefficient of correlation close to 1.
Which answer option is closest to 1 ?
0
>>>It can't be zero right? For your data, correct. It cannot be zero. >>> cause it has to be over +1.00? No c. of correlation is ever over one. So, no.
0 is not correct.
0 is not the closest answer option to the number one.
okay and it gcan't be -0.5 right? so 0.25
>>it gcan't be -0.5 right? Right. >>so 0.25 No.
What is left?
0.90
That is correct and is the closest of the options to 1.
