if the correlation co efficient is 0.32 what is the sign of the slope regression line
Ans: positive
========================
as the correlation co efficient decreases from 0.78 to 0.71 do the points of the scatter plot move toward the regression line or away from it
Ans: away from the line as the relation is less linear.
