Question

Which of these statistics best describes the relationship in this scatterplot?    A)  r = 1.00B)  r = .65C)  r = -.40D)  r = .00

Keshab Panigrahy · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The scatterplot shows a positive linear relationship between the two variables, and the correlation coefficient (r) is estimated to be around .65. Option A is incorrect because there is some variability in the data points and not all points perfectly fit the line. Option C is incorrect because there is a positive relationship, not a negative one. Option D is incorrect because there is indeed an association between the two variables, as demonstrated by the pattern in the scatterplot.
