(b) By hand, compute the correlation coefficient.
The correlation coefficient is r= ____. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
(c) Determine whether there is a linear relation between x and y.
Because the correlation coefficient is (positive,negative) and the absolute value of the correlation coefficient, _____, is (greater,not greater) than the critical value for this data set,_____,(a negative,a positive, no) linear relation exists between x and y. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
