(e) The correlation and the slope of the least-squares line in (b) are both negative. Is it possible for these two
quantites to have opposite signs?
O Yes
O No
Explain your answer.
O Positive r indicates that the least-squares line must have positive slope; negative r indicates that it
must have positive slope.
O Positive r indicates that the least-squares line must have positive slope; negative r indicates that it
must have negative slope.
O Positive r indicates that the least-squares line must have positive slope; negative r indicates that it
must have negative slope.
O Positive r indicates that the least-squares line must have negative slope; negative r indicates that it
must have positive slope.
