Question

answer the questions that follow. the same response may be the correct answer for more than one question. 1. which data set indicates the strongest linear relationship between its two variables? 2. which data set has an apparent negative, but not perfect, linear relationship between its two variables? 3. for which data set does the correlation coefficient r

Explanation:

Step1: Understand linear - relationship strength

The closer the data points are to a straight - line, the stronger the linear relationship. In Figure 2, the data points are arranged most closely around an imaginary straight line.

Step2: Identify negative linear relationship

A negative linear relationship means as one variable increases, the other decreases. In Figure 3, the data points show a general downward trend but are not perfectly aligned on a straight line.

Answer:

1. The data set in Figure 2
2. The data set in Figure 3
