Answer

The pair of points are (4, 78), (5, 72), (6, 66), (7, 60), (8, 54), (9, 48), (10, 42), (11, 36), (12, 30), (13, 24), (14, 18) and (15, 12). Now we plot the points on a graph paper, which is shown below:
The diagram indicates that there is perfect negative correlation between the values of the two variables X and Y.
