Haha, I hope the exam doesn't have any trick questions like 'None of the above'. That would be too easy to fall for!

Hmm, a slope of -2.5 is a pretty strong negative correlation. I wonder what the actual data points look like.

Aha, a negative slope means the metrics move in opposite directions. I remember learning this in my statistics class.
