30 pts. in one study, it was found that the correlation coefficient between two variables is -0.95 which statement is true? a. there is almost no association between the variables. b. there is a strong negative association between the variables. c. there is a strong positive association between the variables. d. there is a perfect association between the variables.

B. There is a strong negative association between the variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

The more negative the correlation coefficient, the more negative the association.  The more positive the correlation coefficient, the more positive the association.  If the correlation coefficient is near zero, there is no correlation.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
