"Weak positive association" is the one phrase among the following choices given in the question that best describes a scatter plot in which the variables are correlated with r = 0.79. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "B". I hope the answer helped you.
Answer: D.) strong positive association
Step-by-step explanation:
The given correlation coefficient [tex]r = 0.79[/tex]
Since its polarity is positive then it must represent a positive association.
We know that if the r value is closer to +1 or -1 then it tells that there is a stronger linear relationship between the two variables.
Also it lies between 0.5 to 1 i.e. 0.5 < 0.79 < 1, therefore it must represent a strong positive association between the two variables.
