I don't know how to find the r-value, can you teach me? please?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

options ?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

0.64 -0.64 0.93 -0.93

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

but I would like to know how to solve rather than just the answer please

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Look at the given scatterplot It seems the variable Y is increasing as X is increasing, yes ?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

therefore, the correlation coefficient has to be "positive"

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Based on that info which options can you eliminate ?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

the negative values

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Good. Look at the plot agian, is the correlation too much strong ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

or the data values are spread around a bit ?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

yes it is spread around but its not strong

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

So it cannot be 0.93

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

wow that was easier than I thought thank you :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

np :)
