After collecting and analysing some data, Koby found the correlation association.
coefficient, 𝑟𝑟, to be – 0.61.

a student spends on running training and the time to swim a 200 m time
trial.

only accurate for the
range of data to which
it was fitted, 60% is
outside of this range
i) For the given data, the correlation coefficient, 𝑟𝑟, is 0.83. What

country which has an expenditure per primary school student of
18% of its GDP.

country which has expenditure per primary school student of
60% of its GDP?
