Let x be the average number of employees in a group health insurance plan, and let y be the average administrative cost as a percentage of claims. (b) Would you say the correlation is low, moderate, or strong? positive or negative? a) moderate and positiveb) low and negative c) strong and positived) strong and negativee) low and positivef) moderate and negative As x increases, does the value of r imply that y should tend to increase or decrease? Explain. a) Given our value of r, y should tend to decrease as x increases.b) Given our value of r, y should tend to remain constant as x increases. c) Given our value of r, y should tend to increase as x increases.d) Given our value of r, we cannot draw any conclusions for the behavior of y as x increases.
