A supermarket ran a linear regression of the number of cans of soup sold (y) against daily temperature (x) in degrees Fahrenheit, for an entire year’s worth of data. The resulting regression equation was y = 300 – 1.5 x. The R2 for the regression was 0.25. What was the correlation between temperature and cans of soup sold? A.0.548 B.0.5 C.-0.5 D.-0.0625
