Question

A. -0.95


B. -0.5


C. 0.5


D. 0.95

Answer 1

-0.5

Explanation:

Answer 2

I think the correct answer would be -0.5. It would be the best estimate since looking at the graph the points tend to have a negative correlation where as Y increases the value of X decreases. However, the value of the correlation would be small since the points are very varied. Hope this helps.
