Explanation:

The correlation coefficient $r = - 0.42$. Since the sign of $r$ is negative, the correlation is negative. The magnitude of $r$ is between 0 and 0.5, which indicates a weak correlation. In general, $|r|$ values close to 0 imply weak linear relationships, while $|r|$ values close to 1 imply strong linear relationships.

Answer:

the correlation is negative and weak
