We know that positive value of coefficient of correlation (r) shows a positive relation between the two variables. It means the value of one variable increases as the value of another variable increases. Negative value of r shows that with the increase in one variable another variable decreases. r=1 means perfect positive correlation which means all the data points lie in a straight line in increasing direction. So, r=1 matches with scatterplot 5 r=-1 means perfect negative correlation which means all the data points lie in a straight line in decreasing direction So, r=-1 matches with scatterplot 4 Also, as r=-0.997 is closer to -1. So, the data points lie on the straight line in decreasing direction but they will be at some distance from each other So, r=-0.997 matches with scatterplot 2 Now, as r=-0.744 is distant from -1. So, the data points lie on the straight line in decreasing direction but they will be a little scattered So, r=-0.744 matches with scatterplot 1 As r=0.352 is distant from 1. So, the data points lie on the straight line in increasing direction but they will be scattered So, r=0.352 matches with scatterplot 3.
