Answer: Choice B

===================================

A more in depth look

Choice A is true because the points are going downward as you read from left to right. The points aren't all on the same line but they are close to one. We can cross choice A off the list.

Choice B is false. So this is the answer. The fact that the points are close to the same line indicates that the r value is close to -1 rather than 0. If the points were randomly scattered about, or if they fell on a curve such as a parabola, then the linear correlation coefficient r would be (closer to) zero.

Choice C is true. The explanatory variable is the independent variable x. We can cross choice C off the list. 

Choice D is true. The points are fairly close to the same straight line. It's not perfect but it's good enough. We can cross choice D off the list.

The false statement is option (B).

What is correlation?

Correlation is a statistical relationship between two random variables or bivariate data.

If the points were randomly scattered about, or if they fell on a curve such as a parabola, then the linear correlation coefficient r would be (closer to) zero.

What is explanatory variable?

"It is used to explain differences in another variable. It is also referred as independent variable."

From the graph,

The data shows a negative linear relationship. As car's age increases, its value decreases. So, there would be negative correlation.

Also, the car's age is the explanatory variable. And the car's age is strongly correlated to its value.

So, the false statement would be option (B).
