Question

In a recent study, a researcher wanted to find out if smoking have negative effects in health. A study was conducted over 10 years where they analyzed the number of cigarettes people were smoking per week and their life expectancy. The finding are as follows:

Number of cigarettes versus life expectancy in years

# cigarettes	5	23	25	48	17	8	4	26	11	19	14	35	29	4	23	35	3
life expectancy (years)	80	78	60	53	85	84	73	79	81	75	68	72	58	92	65	62	78

Find the correlation coefficient, r, and explain its strength and direction.
