A) 6%
B) 36%
C) - 36%
D) - 6%
Thanks,

Hi, I am having a problem with the solution to the problem. Stanbon, you said You are give r=0.6
So, r^2 = 0.36 = 36%
In the question it gives x= -0.6, does that turn into a positive 0.6 somewhere to get the r=0.6?
Thanks for explaining this one to me.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! If r = -0.6, R^2 (-0.6)^2 = 0.36 = 36%
