The number of wins for a high school football team is measured for the season. When the team plays at home, it is generally believed that they will win. Comparing the location of the game and the number of wins, a correlation coefficient of −0.91 is calculated. What would this imply about the football team winning at home? 1. The scatter plot would closely resemble a straight line with a negative slope. The data has a strong, negative correlation, and a causal relationship exists between the team playing at home and winning.

2.The scatter plot would closely resemble a straight line with a negative slope. The data has a strong, negative correlation, but causation cannot be determined.

3.The scatter plot would not be represented by a line of best fit with a negative slope. There is a weak correlation between the football team playing at home and winning.

4. There is no causation and almost no correlation between the football team playing at home and winning.
