Answer 1

Answer:

There is an error in the calculation of r.

Explanation:

A correlation coefficient is a number between -1 and 1 that indicates how strong is the relationship and whether the relationship is positive or negative. In this case, the correlation coefficient is r = -1.32 which is a number that is not between -1 and 1. So, we can conclude that there is an error in the calculation of r.
