The graph below plots the values of y for different values of x: plot the ordered pairs 1, 3 and 2, 4 and 3, 9 and 4, 7 and 5, 2 and 6, 18 What does a correlation coefficient of 0.25 say about this graph?

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
