​(a) Display the data in a scatter plot. Choose the correct graph below.

A.

B. 

C. 

D.

The graphs are on the Image. choose the correct graph 

 

​(b) Calculate the sample correlation coefficient r.

r=

Round to three decimal places as​ needed.

​(c) Describe the type of​ correlation, if​ any, and interpret the correlation in the context of the data.      Pick the correct answer. A to G which one is right?
 
There is
a.a moderate negative
b.a strong negative
c.a perfect negative
d.a moderate positive
e.a perfect positive
f.a strong positive
g.no
linear correlation.
 
(d) 
Interpret the correlation. Choose the correct answer below.
 
 
A.
As​ companies' earnings per share​ increase, their dividends per share tend to increase.
 
B.
Increases in​ companies' earnings per share cause their dividends per share to increase.
 
C.
As​ companies' earnings per share​ increase, their dividends per share tend to decrease.
 
D.
Increases in​ companies' earnings per share cause their dividends per share to decrease.
 
E.
Based on the​ correlation, there does not appear to be a linear relationship between​ companies' earnings per share and their dividends per share.
 
F.
Based on the​ correlation, there does not appear to be any relationship between​ companies' earnings per share and their dividends per share.
 
(E)
​(d) Use the table of critical values for the Pearson correlation coefficient to make a conclusion about the correlation coefficient. Let  α=0.01.
 
Pick A or B   and find the critical value
 
The critical value is=  .​Therefore, there
A.is
b.is not
sufficient evidence at the
1​%
level of significance to conclude that
 
A.there is no correlation
B.there is a significant linear correlation
between​ companies' earnings per share and their dividends per share.
