A group of garden enthusiasts are growing beans. The first number in parenthesis is the ounces of fertilizer used in a community garden plot with an area of 200 sq. ft., the second number is the pounds of beans harvested in the plot: (12,50), (6, 36), (20,60), (5,24), (38,70), (3,24), (8, 42), (20,65), (10, 40), (15, 60). Your best guess of the correlation coefficient between the two variables is:

A) positive, may be 1.3
B) negative, may be -1.4
C) positive, but less than 1.0
D) negative, but greater than -1.0
E) cannot tell because of lack of specification as to which variable is correlated with which.
