Interpret the correlation. Choose the correct answer below.
As companies' earnings per share increase, their dividends per share tend to increase.
Increases in companies' earnings per share cause their dividends per share to increase.
As companies' earnings per share increase, their dividends per share tend to decrease.
Increases in companies' earnings per share cause their dividends per share to decrease.
Based on the correlation, there does not appear to be a linear relationship between companies' earnings per share and their dividends per share.
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.
