Six scatterplots are shown. Suppose regression lines were generated for them, then order their correlation coefficients from least to greatest.
A) C, D, B, A, E, F
B) F, E, D, C, B, A
C) C, B, D, E, A, F
D) A, B, C, D, E, F
The closer the data points are to each other along the line of best fit on a scatter plot, the greater the correlation coefficient and vice versa.
Therefore, the scatter plot that has the least correlation coefficient would be the scatter plot with the data points that are farther apart from each other along the line of best fit which is C, followed by B, D, E, A, and F.
