(ii) Option (c) is correct. x2 – 36 > 0
Explanation: The correlation coefficient ranges (x – 6) (x + 6) > 0
from –1 to 1, where–1 indicates a perfect negative + – +
correlation, 0 indicates no correlation, and 1 indicates –6 6
a perfect positive correlation. A coefficient greater
Range of increasing average cost is x > 6
than 0 indicates a positive relationship, meaning as
one variable increases, the other tends to increase as OR
well. Conversely, a coefficient less than 0 indicates p
x = 60 −
a negative relationship, meaning as one variable 5
increases, the other tends to decrease. Therefore, a ⇒ 300 – 5x = p
correlation coefficient of –3/4 indicates a negative R(x) = p × x = (300 – 5x)
relationship between the variables X and Y.
