Can a low barometer reading be used to predict maximum wind speed of an approaching tropical cyclone?

Can a low barometer reading be used to predict maximum wind speed of an approaching tropical cyclone? For a random sample of tropical cyclones, let x be the lowest pressure (in millibars) as a cyclone approaches, and let y be the maximum wind speed (in miles per hour) of the cyclone.

x 1004 975 992 935 989 928
y 40 100 65 145 80 147

 

(a) Make a scatter diagram of the data and visualize the line you think best fits the data.

 

(b) Would you say the correlation is low, moderate, or strong?

low
moderate    
strong
 
Would you say the correlation is positive or negative?
positive
negative    
 
(c) Use a calculator to verify that 
   
 
 
x = 5823, 
   
 
 
x2 = 5,656,235, 
   
 
 
y = 577, 
   
 
 
y2 = 64,859
 and 
   
 
 
xy = 553,251
 
Compute r. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
 
 
As x increases, does the value of r imply that y should tend to increase or decrease? Explain your answer.

Given our value of r, y should tend to increase as x increases.
 
Given our value of r, y should tend to decrease as x increases.    
 
Given our value of r, we can not draw any conclusions for the behavior of y as x increases.
 
Given our value of r, y should tend to remain constant as x increases.
