Suppose the correlation between the number of times couples go to the movies and the number of times they go out to dinner is +0.79. Among the following conclusions, which one is NOT consistent with this computation?
A) The more often that couples go to the movies, the more often they go out to dinner.
B) The less often that couples go to the movies, the less often they go out to dinner.
C) There is a strong positive correlation between the number of times couples go to the movies and the number of times they go out to dinner.
