Mean of Y | 75.09091 |
So the correlation coefficient is
Hence postive value of r (0.67) suggest postive correlation between hours studied(X) and test grade(Y). Also the value of r is some near to 1 suggeststrong correlation.
Hence the relationship between Hours Studied and Test Grade is positive and strong .
Option (B) is correct.
