The correlation coefficient between two quantitative variables is approximately 0.02. What does the value of this correlation coefficient indicate about how well the model fits the data?

The correlation coefficient "tell us" that the model in question does not fit the data well (the correlation coefficient is near zero), in whose case we need to find another that can do it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Roughly speaking, the correlation coefficient "tell us" if two variables could present the following behavior:

As we can follow from the question, a correlation coefficient of 0.02 is near to zero. In this case, the correlation coefficient is "telling us" that the two variables do not follow the cases 1 and 2 above described. Instead, it follows the case 3.

Therefore, the model in question does not fit the data well, in whose case we need to find another that can do it. For example, if the model is linear, we need to test an exponential model.

It is important to remember that the correlation coefficient does not tell us anything about that one variable causes the other variable, only behaviors as described above.

ANSWER:}> The model is not a good fit.

i believe

step-by-step explanation:

from my conclusion c

the degrees would remain the same ( the number to the left of the decimal point.

the multiply the decimal by 60 to get the minutes and use the numbers to the left of the decimal point.

then multiply the decimal portion of that by 60 for the seconds and round off as needed.

39 .956652

the 39 remains the degrees.

the minutes = 0.956652 x 60 = 57.39912

the minutes = 57

the seconds = 0.39912 x 60 = 23.95 = 24 ( rounded to nearest tenth)

so 39.956652 = 39 degrees, 57 minutes and 24 seconds

-75.159809

the -75 remains the degrees

the minutes = 0.159809 x 60 = 9.58854

the minutes = 9

the seconds = 0.58854 x 60 = 35.31, rounded to nearest tenth = 35.3 seconds

so -75.159809 = -75 degrees, 9 minutes and 35.3 seconds.

the first coordinate is north or south, since it it positive it is north.

the second number is east or west, because it is negative it is west.

39 degrees, 57 minutes and 24 seconds n

-75 degrees, 9 minutes and 35.3 seconds w
