Estimate the linear correlation coefficient

Reference no: EM1318024

A graduate school committee is studying the relationship between x = an applicants' undergraduate grade point average and y = the applicants' score on the graduate entrance exam. The following random sample was collected to study this relationship.

x (GPA)	3.2	3.9	4.0	3.4	3.7	3.0
y (score)	725	788	775	647	800	672

Based on a scatter diagram, would you estimate the linear correlation coefficient to be:

(a) close to -1

(b) closer to 0 and negative

(d) closer to 0 and positive

(e) cannot determine
