Solution Steps

Step 1: Scatterplot of the data

The data points are:

  • Time (hours): [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
  • Number of people paying attention: [80, 68, 62, 50, 48, 32, 21]
Step 2: Calculate the correlation coefficient

The correlation coefficient \( r \) is calculated using the formula: \[ r = \frac{n(\sum xy) - (\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 - (\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 - (\sum y)^2]}} \] where \( n \) is the number of data points.

Step 3: Interpret (Use DOFS to describe)
  • Direction: The correlation is negative, indicating that as time increases, the number of people paying attention decreases.
  • Outliers: There do not appear to be any significant outliers.
  • Form: The relationship appears to be linear.
  • Strength: The correlation coefficient indicates a strong relationship.

Final Answer

  1. Scatterplot of the data:
  2. The correlation coefficient is approximately \( r = -0.9734 \).
  3. The relationship is strong, negative, linear, and there are no significant outliers.
