Medal for best answer!!!!!!!! Given the data set for the length of time a person has been jogging and the person's speed, hypothesize a relationship between the variables. There is not enough information to determine correlation. I would expect the data to be positively correlated. I would expect the data to be negatively correlated. I would expect no correlation.

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Not good. You should give it a shot on your own. Let's see what you think. Let's NOT see what you feel like checking that demonstrates you just gave up on it.

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

Well now Im stuck between positive or no corelation

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Why? What makes you believe one or the other? The longer you jog the slower you go. Do you believe this?

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

yes

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

Well since the longer you jog the slower you it can negative?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Is "the longer you jog" something that is increasing or decreasing as time goes on?

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

decreasing so negative

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

What? 10 minutes pass - you have jogged for 10 minutes 20 minutes pass - you have jogged for 20 minutes 40 minutes pass - you have jogged for 40 minutes Time is advancing. Have you jogged for more time or less time?

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

More time all even

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

So, it is increasing with time?

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

The speed is not increasing with time

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

So, you're saying 20 < 10 and 40 < 20?

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

No

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

If you are saying that it is DEcreasing, then that IS what you are saying. If 20 > 10 and 40 > 20, then it is INcreasing.

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

Okay since increasing then positive.

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Great. Time is increasing. Let's remember that we established that. How about speed. I get tired and I slow down. Is that increasing or decreasing as time wears on?

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

time will still increase

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Time is always increasing. What does speed do while time is increasing?

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

It could increase and decrease

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

It could. But according to the "tired" theory, what DOES it do?

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

decrease

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

Well then Ill go with Positive

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Okay. Let's try the question again. No Correlation Time is increasing, but speed could do anything. Is this what we decided? Positive Correlation Time is increasing, speed is also increasing. Is this what we decided? Negative Correlation Time is increasing, but speed is decreasing. Is this what we decided?

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

well we decided on no corelation and negative corelation they look similiar

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

Well most likely negative

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

No, they don't.|dw:1453077424084:dw|

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

Okay so negative

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Done. Move on to the next one.

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

Okay I will let u knwo if it right

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

It was right thanks alot

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

No need to let me know if it is right. I just hope to know that you get it.
