For a set of data: x = (0,1,2,3,4,5,6) and y=(36, 28, 25, 24, 23, 21, 19), determine and interpret the correlation coefficient. Solution: assign("x", c(0,1,2,3,4,5,6)) assign("y",c(36, 28, 25, 24, 23, 21, 19)) cor(x,y) = -0.92638 Interpretation: This means that an increase of x causes a decrease in y. What was done wrong in this solution?

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

it appears as those two distinct points on the graph are (-3,1) and (2,2)

so take the difference of the y-values and put it over the difference of the x-values to get a fraction to represent the slope

2-1 / 2-(-3) = 1/5

if you start from the point (-3,1) you must rise by one unit and then run five units to the right to get to (2,2)
