What is the correlation coefficient for the data and its interpretation?

• The correlation coefficient of r = 0.717 indicates a fairly strong positive linear association between the test grades and the students' study time.

• The correlation coefficient of r = 0.515 indicates the fraction of the variation in the students' study times that can be accounted for by their test grades.

• The correlation coefficient of r = 0.717 indicates a fairly strong negative linear association between the test grades and the students' study time.

• The correlation coefficient of r = 0.515 indicates the fraction of the variation in test grades that can be accounted for by the students' study times.

• The median will remain the same, the mean will increase and the data will skew right.

• The median and mean will both increase in value and the data set is bimodal

• The median will remain the same, the mean will decrease and the data will skew left

Which conclusion can be best supported by the histograms?

• As boys get older, shoe sizes increase and the distribution remains relatively unchanged
