Answer:

No answer provided yet.

If this value is -0.60 then this represents a negative correlation between the variables. That means as one variable increases the other variables decreases, that is, they are inversely related. This eliminated both c and d. The coefficient of determination is the correlation squared, and that would be .36, so that's wrong.

The answer is b.

Note: The value entered was a bit garbled. If the value is 0.60, then it is a postive correlation and the correct answer would be d instead of b.
