gravitational field strength

For Q6.b. http://www.ocr.org.uk/Images/144798-question-paper-unit-g494-01-rise-and-fall-of-the-clockwork-universe.pdf I don't understand how you can tell that the field direction is always towards the centre of the sphere by looking at the graph (that is the correct answer).
I think it's because every value on the graph would be negative (except zero), and negative, in terms of forces, means attractive?

That was my thinking, but I wasn't sure! Thank you :smile:
