By hand, compute the correlation coefficient.  The correlation coefficient is r = _______

 

Determinewhether the correlation coefficient is a linear relation between x and y. 

Answer the following:

Because the correlation coefficient is _______ ( positive or negative) and the absolute value of the correlation coefficient, ____, is _______ (not greater than or greater) than the critical value for this data set, ___,  ________ (a negative, a positive, or no) linear relation exists between x and y. 
(round to three decimal places as needed).
