The table shows the points received by the top ten paintball teams at a tournament.

Explain what the correlation coefficient means in the context of this situation.

A scatter plot was constructed on the graph below and a line of best fit was drawn. What is the equation of this line of best fit?
y = x + 5
y = x + 25
y = 5x + 25
y = 5x + 5
A linear model was constructed for a set of bivariate data.
Given the residual plot shown, what conclusion should be drawn?
The correlation between the original variables is close to 1.
A linear model was a good fit for the data.
There was a strong negative correlation between the two variables.
A linear model was NOT a good fit for the data.
Which situation describes a negative correlation?
the size of a car's gas tank and the number of gallons it holds
the number of miles driven and the amount of gas used
the amount of gas left in a car's tank and the amount of gas used from it
the number of gallons of gas purchased and the amount paid for the gas
