What is the significance of a correlation coefficient of 0.16? a the points all lie very close to the line of fit and the line is increasing. b the points do not follow the line of fit and the line is decreasing. c the points do not follow the line of fit and the line is increasing. d the points all lie very close to the line of fit and the line is decreasing.

C The points do not follow the line of fit and the line is increasing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlation coefficient generally helps to determine the kind of relationship between the variables , whether correlation is weak or strong , correlation is positive or negative etc.

The given correlation coefficient=  0.16

When the value of correlation coefficient is positive it means it indicates that there is a positive correlation between the variable , i.e the line is increasing.

Also, when correlation coefficient lies between 0 to 0.3, then it indicates that there is weak association, i.e. points do not follow the line of fit.

Therefore , the significance of a correlation coefficient of 0.16 is "the points do not follow the line of fit and the line is increasing".

Hence, the correct option is C. The points do not follow the line of fit and the line is increasing.

just take the area of the square and then the area of the circle then subtract the circle area from the squares area
