Question

Two graphs are shown below:

graph A shows scatter points 1, 2 and 2, 2 and 3, 2 and 4, 2 and 5, 2graph A shows scatter points 1, 11 and 2, 9 and 3, 7 and 4, 5 and 5, 3

Which scatter plot shows a negative correlation between x and y?

Only graph A
Only graph B
Both graph A and graph B
Neither graph A nor graph B

Answer 1

i cant get the graphs

Answer 2

A positive correlation will have a positive slope when you fit a line to the points. A negative correlation will have a negative slope.

Answer 3

Graph A shows a positive correlation, right? All of the points create a line with a positive slope.

Answer 4

those are the graphs

Answer 5

Sorry, I see those now. So, in graph A what is the slope of the points? Is it positive or negative? Graph B is definitely negative.

Answer 6

so just b?

Answer 7

Yes, Graph A has no real correlation between x and y.

Answer 8

thank you!

Answer 9
