For the accompanying data set, (a) draw a scatter diagram of the data, (h) compute the correlation coefficient, and c) detemine whether there is a linear relation between x and y. A Click the icon to view the data set A Click the icon to view the critical values table. (a) Draw a scatter diagram of the data. Choose the correct graph below O D. O A. B. (b) Compute the correlation coefficient The correlation coefficient is r= (Round to three decimal placee as needeci.) (c) Determine vhether there is a linear releation between x and y V than the critical value for this data sel, f linear relation exists between x and y Because the correlation coelficient is V and the ahsolute value of the corelation coeificient, is

Let x be the average number of employees in a group health insurance plan, and let y be the average administrative cost as a percentage of claims. x 3 7 15 32 75 y 40 35 30 26 18 (a) Make a scatter diagram of the data and visualize the line you think best fits the data.  Flash Player version 10 or higher is required for this question. You can get Flash Player free from Adobe's website.   (b) Would you say the correlation is low, moderate, or strong? positive or negative? strong and negative moderate and negative   strong and positive low and negative low and positive moderate and positive (c) Use a calculator to verify that Σx = 132, Σx2 = 6932, Σy = 149, Σy2 = 4725, and Σxy = 2997. Compute r. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)r =  As x increases, does the value of r imply that y should tend to increase or decrease? Explain. Given our value of r, we cannot draw any conclusions for the behavior of y as x increases. Given our value of r, y should tend to…
