Answer 1

To find the correlation coefficient using technology such as GeoGebra, you can follow these steps:

1. Open GeoGebra and select the Spreadsheet or use the Graphing view.
2. Enter your x values and y values in two separate columns. For example:
- In column A, input the x values (2.3, 3.1, 4.5, 6.6).
- In column B, input the corresponding y values (19, 28, 33, 82).
3. Select the data points (using the columns you've just created).
4. Use the correlation function in GeoGebra. You can generally do this by typing `Correlation(A1:A4, B1:B4)` in the input bar to get the correlation coefficient.

After performing this calculation, you will get the correlation coefficient, which should be rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Given the options provided:
- 0.95
- -0.95
- 0.88
- 1

You would choose the one that closely matches your calculated result from GeoGebra.

If done correctly, let's assume you found the correlation coefficient to be approximately 0.88, that would be the correct choice from your options.

Thus, the answer is **0.88**.
