In baseball, is there a linear correlation between batting average and home run percentage? Let
x
represent the batting average of a professional baseball player, and let
y
represent the player's home run percentage (number of home runs per 100 times at bat). A random sample of
n
= 7 professional baseball players gave the following information.

Extracted text: In baseball, is there a linear correlation between batting average and home run percentage? Let x represent the batting average of a professional baseball player, and let y represent the player's home run percentage (number of home runs per 100 times at bat). A random sample of n = 7 professional baseball players gave the following information. 0.249 0.253 0.286 0.263 0.268 0.339 0.299 y 1.2 4.0 5.5 3.8 3.5 7.3 5.0 n USE SALT (a) Make a scatter diagram of the data.

As x increases, does the value of r imply that y should tend to increase or decrease? Explain your answer. O Given our value of r, y should tend to decrease as x increases. O Given our value of r, y should tend to remain constant as x increases. O Given our value of r, we can not draw any conclusions for the behavior of y as x increases. O Given our value of r, y should tend to increase as x increases.
