a) determine the correlation coefficient between the weight of a car and the fuel efficiency.
the correlation coefficient between the weight of a car and the fuel efficiency is
r=
(type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a table showing  the​ weights, in hundreds of​ pounds, for six selected cars. Also shown is the corresponding fuel​ efficiency, in miles per gallon​ (mpg), for the car in city driving.

Correlaton coefficient =cov (xy)/S_x S_y

Covariance (x,y) = E(xy)-E(x)E(y)

The correlation coefficient between the weight of a car and the fuel efficiency is -0.341
