(c) Describe the type of correlation, if any, and interpret the correlation in the context of the data. Print Done There is linear correlation. Interpret the correlation. Choose the correct answer below. O A. Based on the correlation, there does not appear to be a linear relationship between companies' earnings per share and their dividends per share. O B. Based on the correlation, there does not appear to be any relationship between companies' earnings per share and their dividends per share. C. Increases in companies' earnings per share cause their dividends per share to decrease. O D. As companies' earnings per share increase, their dividends per share tend to increase. O E. Increases in companies' earnings per share cause their dividends per share to increase. O F. As companies' earnings per share increase, their dividends per share tend to decrease. (d) Use the table of critical values for the Pearson correlation coefficient to make a conclusion about the correlation coefficient. Let a = 0.01. The critical value is . Therefore, there sufficient evidence at the 1% level of significance to conclude that (Round to three decimal places as needed.) V between companies' earnings per share and their dividends per share
