Expert Solution
Step 1

From the scatter plot, the data set (x, y) is (1,8), (2,8), (3,5), (4,3), (5,4), (6,1), (8,1).

Step-by-step procedure to find the correlation coefficient using Excel:

  • In Excel sheet, enter Sales in one column and enter Temperature in one column.
  • In Data, select Data Analysis and choose Correlation.
  • In Input Variable Range, select Sales and Temperature.
  • Click Labels.
  • Click Ok.
