were you able to find the correlation coefficient?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so you just plotted the points?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how did you figure out part A?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

this? http://www.alcula.com/calculators/statistics/linear-regression/

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I went to the website

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

click the "correlation coefficient" link

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

tell me what it says

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that's very close to -1 so that mathematically proves the data points are very very close to a straight line

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

which also proves a very strong negative linear correlation

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and I agree with the answers you posted above
