For a random sample of tropical cyclones, let x be the lowest pressure (in millibars) as a cyclone approaches, and let y be the maximum wind speed (in miles per hour) of the cyclone. x 1004 975 992 935 985 924 40 100 65 145 LO USE SALT (a) Make a scatter diagram of the data and visualize the line you think best fits the data.

Graphing Too (b) Would you say the correlation is low, moderate, or strong? O low O moderate O strong Would you say the correlation is positive or negative? O positive O negative (c) Use a calculator to verify that x = 5815, > x2 = 5,640,931, > > = 585, > 2 = 67,127 and >xy = 559,796. Computer. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) As x increases, does the value of r imply that y should tend to increase or decrease? Explain your answer. Given our value of r, y should tend to increase as x increases. O Given our value of r, y should tend to d ase as x increases. O Given our value of r, we can not draw a conclusions for the behavior of y as x increases. Given our value of r, y sho constant as x increases. Submit Answer Viewing Saved Work Revert to Last Response
