1. Data set A has a correlation coefficient of 0.7. Data set B has a correlation coefficient of -0.9. Which data set has a stronger linear correlation?
a. A
b. B
c. They both have the same linear correlation.
d. It's impossible to tell from the given information.
2. A data set has a correlation coefficient of -0.9. When we plug x = 3, we get \(\hat{y} = 10.\) If we plug in x = 5, we will find that
a. \(\hat{y} > 10.\)
b. \(\hat{y} < 10.\)
c. \(\hat{y} = 10.\)
