Psychology students at BYU-Idaho conducted a survey that compared GPA levels and number of absences among students in a certain class. The students compiled the following results:

Student	Absences	GPA
Student 1	2	2.77
Student 2	1	3.76
Student 3	7	2.30
Student 4	6	3.11
Student 5	2	3.73
Student 6	2	3.03
Student 7	6	3.43
Student 8	6	2.48
Student 9	12	2.28
Student 10	0	3.56

Based on the survey results, what would the forecasted GPA be for a student with 3absences? (Display your answer to two decimal places.)

What is the r-value (correlation coefficient) for this set of data? (Display your answer to two decimal places. If you get a negative number then put a minus sign before your number.)

The correlation coefficient (from the previous question)indicatesthat as the number of absences goes DOWN, GPA tends to go:

The psychology students determined that the magnitude of acorrelation coefficient(whether positive or negative) is considered strongif it is0.70 or more, moderate if it is between 0.40 and 0.69, and weak/noneif it is below 0.40. Based on your analysis, the correlationbetween absences and GPA is:
