Data is collected comparing the number of Hot Cheetos eaten and the student’s grade in social

studies (percent).

 

The correlation coefficient is r = -0.357.

 

   Interpret the direction of the correlation in context of the problem.

• As more Hot Cheetos are eaten, the student's grade in social studies decreases.

• As less Hot Cheetos are eaten, the student's grade in social studies decreases.

• As more Hot Cheetos are eaten, the student's grade in social studies increases.

• There is no correlation between Hot Cheetos and the grade.
