-0.91

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear relationship is said to be strong if the points on graph are close to a straight line ( correlation coefficient is nearest to 1) and weak if they widely scattered about the line ( correlation coefficient is nearest to -1) .

From the given graph it appeaser to be a strong negative correlation as the points are moving downwards diagonally close to a line which shows if one variable increases , the other decreases.

It means the correlation coefficient must be the nearest value to -1, i.e. -0.91.

Thus, the correlation coefficient most likely for the set of data shown =-0.91
