r= 0.57
➢ The 0.57 coefficient correlation means that there is a moderate relationship between
the amount spent on advertising expense and sales.
➢ Thus, the 0.57 coefficient correlation with a moderate relationship between the amount spent
on advertising expense and sales indicates that there is a direct or positive correlation between
the two variables because the value of 0.57 is greater than zero. Therefore, as the amount spent
on advertising expense (x) increases in value, the sales (y) also increase in value
B. The owner of a chain of fruit shake stores would like to study the correlation between
atmospheric temperature and sales during the summer season. At random sample of 12

r= 0.78
Interpretation of R-value
➢ The 0.78 coefficient correlation means that there is a strong relationship between
atmospheric temperature and sales during the summer season.
Conclusion
➢ Thus, the 0.78 coefficient correlation with a strong relationship between the atmospheric
temperature and sales indicates that there is a direct or positive correlation between the
two variables because the value of 0.78 is greater than zero. Therefore, as the
temperature (x) increases in value, the sales (y) also increase in value.
