If the correlation coefficient is 0.91, what is the sign of the slope of the regression line?
Ans: positive
----------------------
- As the correlation coefficient decreases from -0.21 to -0.27, do the points of the scatter plot move toward the regression line, or away from it?
Ans: Toward
The -0.27 is closer to -1 and indicates a stronger negative linear
correlation than -0.21
