SOLUTION: 1. If the claim says that the population mean is greater than 200 and the sample mean is 215, we can say that the claim is true even without a formal test. 2. A value of r = 0.

Question 417646: 1. If the claim says that the population mean is greater than 200 and the sample mean is 215, we can say that the claim is true even without a formal test.
2. A value of r = 0.851 shows that there is very little linear relationship between the two variables being compared.
3. A value of r = 0.158 shows that there is very little relationship of any kind between the variables being compared.
Thank you so very much
