Question

would the scatterplot given, express negative or positive correlation?
$r = -.99$
○ equal representation
○ negative correlation
○ positive correlation
○ no correlation

Explanation:

A correlation coefficient \(r = -.99\) is a strong negative value, and the scatterplot shows points trending downward from left to right, which matches the pattern of a negative correlation (as one variable increases, the other decreases).

Answer:

B. Negative Correlation
