Question

tell whether x and y have a positive correlation, a negative correlation, or relatively no correlation.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the first scatter - plot

As $x$ increases, $y$ generally increases. So, there is a positive correlation.

Step2: Analyze the second scatter - plot

As $x$ increases, $y$ remains relatively constant. So, there is relatively no correlation.

Step3: Analyze the third scatter - plot

As $x$ increases, $y$ generally decreases. So, there is a negative correlation.

Answer:

1. Positive correlation
2. Relatively no correlation
3. Negative correlation
