Correlation Practice

Which graph represents data that has a correlation coefficient close to -1?

• 
• 
• 
• 

What is most likely the correlation coefficient for this data set?

• r = -0.20

• r = -0.70

• r = 0.83

• r = 1.00

Order the correlation coefficients from STRONGEST linear relationship to WEAKEST

• 0.80

• 0.45

• -0.50

• -0.89

To convince his students to slow down, Coach Logan tracks the typing speed and the number of errors made from a few of his students. Calculate the correlation coefficient, r, of the data set. Round to THREE decimal places.
