Question

identify the correlation coefficient r that is most likely to correspond with the scatterplot below.
show your work here
\\( r = -0.91 \\) \\( r = -0.63 \\)
\\( r = -0.08 \\) \\( r = 0.51 \\)
\\( r = 0.91 \\)

Explanation:

Step1: Check direction of correlation

The scatterplot shows no clear upward/downward trend; points are scattered randomly. So correlation is near 0.

Step2: Match with options

Among the options, \(r = -0.08\) is closest to 0, indicating almost no linear correlation.

Answer:

C. \(r = -0.08\)
