As the team salary increases, the average attendance per home game tends to increase. 4. -0.908. Because r is close to -1, this suggests a strong negative linear correlation. As the number of years out of school increases, the annual contribution tends to decrease. 5. 0.792. Because r is close to 1, this suggests a strong positive linear correlation. As the team salaries increase, the average attendance per home game tends to increase. 6. 0 r0 ≈ 0.908 7 0.875. The correlation is significant.
