5. True or False a) The correlation coefficient will always be negative when the slope of the line of best fit is negative. Explain your reasoning. Line B: y = 4x - 6 b) Two lines of best fit have these equations: Line A: y = 2x + 4 Joe says that line B has a stronger correlation since it has a greater slope. Explain. c) Merner's golf drives have a mean distance of 200 m with a standard deviation of 5 m, while Phillip's golf drives have a mean distance of 215 m with a standard deviation of 25 m. Merner is a better golfer than Philips since he is more consistent and has a higher average drive distance.
