Explanation / Answer

1.

X Values
? = 1396.7
Mean = 27.386
?(X - Mx)2 = SSx = 1652.86

Y Values
? = 34914.3
Mean = 684.594
?(Y - My)2 = SSy = 3123820.468

X and Y Combined
N = 51
?(X - Mx)(Y - My) = -28365.134

R Calculation
r = ?((X - My)(Y - Mx)) / ?((SSx)(SSy))

r = -28365.134 / ?((1652.86)(3123820.468)) = -0.3948

Therefore, the correct answer is Option B, -.40.
