Use a scatter plot to examine the relationship. How to take snapshots: if you use a MacBook, press Command+ Shift+4 to take snapshots. If you are using Windows, use the Snipping Tool to take snapshots. Question 1: Determine and interpret the correlation coefficient between the two variables. In your interpretation, discuss the direction of the relationship (positive, negative, or zero relationship). Also discuss the strength of the relationship. Value of correlation coefficient: Direction of the relationship (positive, negative, or zero relationship): Strength of the relationship (strong/moderate/weak): Question 2: Estimate the relationship between screen size and price using a simple linear regression model and interpret the estimated coefficients.
