     The altitude (in thousands of feet) and speed of a plane (in feet per second) for various altitudes is shown below  compLetes part a through  Display the date in scatter plot.  Choose the correct graph below  Calculate the correlation coefficient r  r =  (Round to three decimal places as needed)  Make a conclusion about the type of correlation  The correlation is a  linear correlation    
 
  
  Solution
1) Option A is the scatter plot for the data given.
2) Correlation coefficient = -0.389 as shown below:
?X=140 , ?Y=8229.8 , ?X?Y=142168 , ?X2=3500 , ?Y2=8487822.44
---------------------------
c) The correlation is a negative linear correlation.
