The Turbine Oil Oxidation Test (TOST) and the Rotating Bomb Oxidation Test (RBOT) are two different procedures for evaluating the oxidation stability of steam turbine oils. An article reported the accompanying observations for x = TOST time (hr) and y = RBOT time (min) for 12 oil specimens.

TOST   4200     3575     3750     3700     4050     2770     4870     4475     3450     2700     3750     3325
RBOT   370 345 375 310 350 205 400 375 285 220 345 280
(a) Calculate the value of the sample correlation coefficient. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
r = 

Interpret the value of the sample correlation coefficient.
The value of r indicates that there is a strong, negative linear relationship between TOST and RBOT.The value of r indicates that there is a weak, positive linear relationship between TOST and RBOT.    The value of r indicates that there is a strong, positive linear relationship between TOST and RBOT.The value of r indicates that there is a weak, negative linear relationship between TOST and RBOT.

(b) How would the value of r be affected if we had let x = RBOT time and y = TOST time?
The value of r would remain the same.The value of r would decrease.    The value of r would be multiplied by −1.The value of r would increase.

(c) How would the value of r be affected if RBOT time were expressed in hours?
The value of r would increase.The value of r would remain the same.    The value of r would be multiplied by −1.The value of r would decrease.
