Question

shown below are the scatter - plots for four different data sets. 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?

Explanation:

Step1: Understand linear - relationship strength

The closer the data points are to a straight - line pattern, the stronger the linear relationship.

Step2: Analyze each figure

In Figure 1, the points are somewhat scattered. In Figure 2, there is no clear linear pattern. In Figure 3, the points are closely clustered around a straight - line path. In Figure 4, the points are very scattered.

Answer:

1. The data set in Figure 3
2. (Since no options for the second question are fully visible, cannot answer the second part completely. But for the first part, the answer is as above.)
