Question

identify the correlation coefficient r that is most likely to correspond with the scatterplot below.
show your work here
\\( r = -0.88 \\) \\( r = -0.54 \\)
\\( r = 0.06 \\) \\( r = 0.55 \\)
\\( r = 0.88 \\)

Explanation:

Step1: Check correlation direction

The scatterplot shows no clear upward/downward trend, so r is near 0.

Step2: Match with options

Among options, r=0.06 is closest to 0.

Answer:

r = 0.06
