As the number of rainy days increases sales decrease. c. As the number of rainy days increases sales increase. d. There is a strong negative linear relationship between sales and the number of rainy days.
-Identify if you would expect a positive correlation or negative correlation. -Identify the independent variable and dependent variable. -Write a sentence describing the relationship between the variables (based on the expected correlation). 1. Price of popcorn bags in a movie theatre and number of popcorn bags sold. 2. Blood pressure level and the number of cigarettes per day. For the toolbar, press ALT+F10 (PC) or ALT+FN+F10 (Mac).
A study was done asking people how much money they spend per month on their natural gas bill and how much money per month they spend on their electric bill. The correlation r was found to be 0.94 and the p- value for correlation was 0.0003. Then a person with a high natural gas bill will also have a high electric bill. O true false

Which value of r indicates a stronger correlation: r=0.797 or r= -0.922? Explain your reasoning. Choose the correct answer below. C ⒸA. r= -0.922 represents a stronger correlation because | -0.922|>10.7971. OB. r= -0.922 represents a stronger correlation because 0.797> -0.922. OC. r=0.797 represents a stronger correlation because 0.797 > -0.922. OD. r=0.797 represents a stronger correlation because | -0.922|>10.7971.
Two variables are found to have a strong positive linear correlation. Pick the correct statement. An increase in one variable potentially causes a decrease in the other. An increase in one variable does not cause a decrease in the other. An increase in one variable does not cause an increase in the other. An increase in one variable potentially causes an increase in the other. An increase in one variable causes a decrease in the other. An increase in one variable causes an increase in the other.

The store manager of a business that sells jackets is curious if the weather temperature (in degrees Celsius) per day is related to the daily sales (in pesos) earned by the store. He took some random samples and recorded the temperatures and sales for the selected days, which can be found in the next slide. Calculate the correlation coefficient and interpret the result.
A survey was taken in 2018 that asked people about their saving habits. Researchers wanted to know if people who saved more also spent less. The scatterplot below shows their results when comparing two variables: the amount people reported that they put into savings each month, and the amount they reported that they spent on clothes. The researchers found the correlation coefficient for this data to be -0.239. Which of the following is true about these variables? a. There is no relationship between savings and money spent on clothes each month.b. There is a weak, positive linear relationship between savings and money spent on clothes each month.c. There is a perfect, negative linear relationship between savings and money spent on clothes each month.d. There is a weak, negative linear relationship between savings and money spent on clothes each month.
Which value of r indicates a stronger correlation: r= 0.841 or r= - 0.949? Explain your reasoning. Choose the correct answer below. O A. r= 0.841 represents a stronger correlation because -0.949 > 0.841|. B. r= - 0.949 represents a stronger correlation because -0.949|> |0.841|. C. r= - 0.949 represents a stronger correlation because 0.841 > - 0.949. D. r= 0.841 represents a stronger correlation because 0.841 > - 0.949.
