Suppose the correlation coefficient between two variables X

Suppose the correlation coefficient between two variables, X and Y, is found to be r = -0.95. Which of the following is most appropriate?

An increase in Y causes an increase X

As X increases, Y increases.

As X increases, Y decreases

An increase in X causes a decrease in Y

	A.	An increase in Y causes an increase X
	B.	As X increases, Y increases.
	C.	As X increases, Y decreases
	D.	An increase in X causes a decrease in Y

As X increases, Y decreases

because relationship is negative. Also, correlation does not imply \"cause-effect\" relation

C.	As X increases, Y decreases
