Question

10. The correlation coefficient for a set of 35 ordered pairs (x, y) is 0.968 where x = average number of grams of protein consumed daily and y = the maximium weight lifted during the performance of a bench press. Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from the r value?

Group of answer choices

There is a strong positive linear relationship between protein consumption and bench press maximums, which means higher protein consumption appears with heavier maximums.

There is a strong negative linear relationship between protein consumption and bench press maximums, which means higher protein consumption causes lighter maximums.

There is a weak positive linear relationship between protein consumption and bench press maximums, which means higher protein consumption appears with heavier maximums.

There is a weak positive linear relationship between protein consumption and bench press maximums, which means higher protein consumption causes heavier maximums.

There is a strong positive linear relationship between protein consumption and bench press maximums, which means higher protein consumption causes heavier maximums.
