Question

The results of a linear regression are show below.
y = ax + b
a = -0.687
b = -0.631
r=-0.8056
2 = 0.64906
Which phrase best describes the relationship between x and y?
1. Strong negative correlation
2. Strong positive correlation
3. Weak negative correlation
4. Weak positive correlation

Answer 1

Answer:

Strong negative correlation

Step-by-step explanation:

The x and y in this equation are really the a and b so if a correlation is strong it is 5 and up and if it is weak it would be 4 and below, and if it has a negative symbol in front of it it is negative and if it doesn’t it’s positive obviously.
