Explanation / Answer

Answer to the question)

if the correlation value obtained is -1.32 , we for sure know that

the calculation is incorrect , because the correlation coeffiicient r lies between -1 and +1. The value -1.32 > +1 , which is not possible . This could only mean that the value is incorrectly calculated

Thus the correct answer choice is: d - You made a calculation error
