Question

What is true for this plot?

a) positive correlation

b) negative correlation

c) absolute negative correlation

d) curvilinear correlation

e) none of the above

Answer 1

I believe is positive correlation... Not curvilinear because this option does not state if is positive or negative curvilinear..The upper right values maybe are extreme so i believe that is positive correlation.. Here is the plot

Answer 2

Well,its its not a negative correlation..so i believe you are correct...your choices can be either a or e

Answer 3

@emilyhaddad the values are increasing on both axes. At first I was thinking about curvilinear because if you draw a line until the upper right values it can be curvilinear but later...i changed!! I believe a too... Anw thank you!!

Answer 4

np. so what answer was it:)

Answer 5

i do not know ;p ... I will tell you until after some days... temporarily is secret ;p

Answer 6

haha alrighty:) you seem really smart! you got this! just think about it a little more okay

Answer 7

I'd side with curvilinear, since the bottom dots do not give me a straight line
but seems a bit ambiguous since you could also get from it a positive correlation just as well

Answer 8

@jdoe0001 I was thinking about it and it was my immediately reaction when i saw the plot... But...consider that ok is a curvilinear but what curvilinear is? negative or possitive?

Answer 9

Finally imagine the upper right values to be excluded... Lets say that they are extreme values.. Now imagine a line from the bottom left to the upper right among the values. Then is a linear!!

Answer 10

@jdoe0001 it was too late when i was answering and i was not working ;p look...curvilinear correlation states that is a curvilinear but not if is negative or positive curvilinear.. Then, positive correlation it just states that is positive. it does not say linear.. so it can be either linear or curvilinear. This is why i prefer this choice..

Answer 11

@kropot72 Can you tell me your opinion please?

Answer 12

@jdoe0001 I was right! It is a positive correlation. When you say possitive correlation it has not to be linear!
