Question 112

James runs a fish and chip shop. He records the average daily temperature, t∘Ct^{\circ}\text{C}t∘C, and the daily sales, £S\pounds S£S, for 12 days in the summer. The product moment correlation for these data is -0.72

James suggests that a linear regression model could be used to model the data.

State, giving a reason, whether or not the correlation coefficient is consistent with James's suggestion.
