Question

mrs. rawls create her scatterplot using the following data. the same data that was used in the previous question. mr. latterner created a scatterplot with different data and had a correlation coefficient of -0.40. choose all the following statements that are true. there is not enough information given to answer this problem. both data can be categorized as strong data. mrs. rawls data will be more condensed than mr. latterners data. both data have a negative slope. mrs. rawls data is considered strong while mr. latterners data is considered weak. mr. latterners data has a positive slope while mrs. rawls data has a negative slope. shifty trends minutes % remaining 90 41 65 63 22 88 30 82 45 79 99 38 15 93 75 50 111 35 80 47

Explanation:

The correlation coefficient of - 0.40 for Mrs. Rawls' data indicates a negative correlation. A correlation coefficient close to -1 represents a strong negative correlation, and as -0.40 is not close to -1, it's a weak negative correlation. Without data on Mr. Latterner's correlation coefficient strength, we can't fully assess the strength - but we know Mrs. Rawls has a negative slope.

Answer:

Mrs. Rawls' data has a negative slope.
