Question

identify the correlation coefficient ( r ) that is most likely to correspond with the scatterplot below.
show your work here
( \bigcirc ) ( r = -0.84 ) ( \bigcirc ) ( r = -0.52 )
( \bigcirc ) ( r = 0.07 ) ( \bigcirc ) ( r = 0.64 )
( \bigcirc ) ( r = 0.9 )

Explanation:

Step1: Check scatterplot trend

The points show no clear upward/downward pattern (random distribution).

Step2: Match with correlation values

A near-zero r indicates no linear correlation. Among options, \(r = 0.07\) is closest to 0.

Answer:

C. \(r = 0.07\)
