Q:

A college professor surveyed his class to see how many hours each student studied. The professor used each student's grade with how many hours they studied to create a scatter plot of the data. He determined that the correlation coefficient was 0.90. Select the true statement based on the professor's correlation coefficient. There is a negative correlation between the number of hours studied and the student's grade. There is no correlation between the number of hours studied and the student's grade. There is a strong correlation between the number of hours studied and the student's grade. There is a weak correlation between the number of hours studied and the student's grade.

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:There is a strong correlation between the number of hours studied and the student's gradeStep-by-step explanation:The closer the absolute value of the coefficient is to 1, the stronger the correlation, the sign of the coefficient would also indicate a positive slope.
