Given that the correlation coefficient \( r = 1 \), this indicates a perfect positive linear relationship between the two variables: the number of games rented and the dollars spent.

Based on this information, the following statement must be true:

The more games rented, the more dollars spent.

This means that as the number of games rented increases, the amount of money spent also increases directly. The other statements do not hold true given this perfect correlation.
