A student says that a correlation coefficient of −0.93 indicates that the two quantities of a data set have a weak correlation. Explain the error the student made.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that correlation coefficients range from -1 to +1.  So, -0.93 is a strong negative relationship.  Two interpretations:  1) the correlation is actually very strong, and 2) the correlation is negative.  When the correlation is negative, the dependent variable DECREASES when the independent variable INCREASES.

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
