Expert Solution
Step 1

The value  r= 0, confirms the lack of linear association between two variables. In this case, all the points are scattered on a graph and hardly any three points lie in a straight line.
If r= 1, it means that Y is proportional to X which ensures perfect positive linear association. In this case all points in a scatter diagram lie on a straight line extending from left bottom to the right top. It means as X increases, Y also increases.

If r= -1, it means as X increases, Y decreases. This ensures perfect negative association. In this situation Y is proportional to 1/x. All the points lie on a straight line extending from left top to the right bottom.
