Question

The form of the relationship in the following scatterplot might best be described as


A. negative.
B. curved.
C. extrapolated.
D. clustered.

Answer 1

I assume A negative... Not sure what C means, but it could be B "curved" but I don't think that's a relationship...

Answer 2

I think you may be right.

Answer 3

Extrapolated means you analyzed the data and calculated where the curve would continue to past the recorded data.

Answer 4

Thanks eyust... WOuld A be correct then? :)

Answer 5

I would say B based on this definition:
"Curvilinear: A curved relationship is called curvilinear, because it approximates a curved line."

Answer 6

Well they say relationship so that's why I picked A, though it is a curve.

Answer 7

I've never heard "curved" used to describe a relation either, but that might be right if "negative" is reserved for straight-line correlation only.

Answer 8

"In statistics, a relationship between two variables is negative if the slope in a corresponding graph is negative"

Answer 9

I would say both. lol

Answer 10

But Cliffsedge has a point... curved isn't a very common description.

Answer 11

yeah that's why I assumed negative :P. It deff is both, but curved isn't a relationship imo. It's the shape of it :).

Answer 12

Here's my go-to site for stats: http://stattrek.com/statistics/charts/scatterplot.aspx?Tutorial=Stat

I'd say "negative" as well because the standard term is "non-linear" not "curved."
