The correct statement is:
**There is a weak negative correlation.**
A correlation coefficient of -0.29 indicates a weak negative relationship between the two variables. Correlation coefficients range from -1 to 1, where values closer to -1 represent strong negative correlations and values closer to 1 represent strong positive correlations. A value of -0.29 suggests a weak correlation.
