Question

1. choose the best answer. which graph shows a moderate negative correlation? four scatter plot graphs labeled a, b, c, d options: b, c, d, a

Explanation:

1. Analyze Option A: The scatter plot in A has points that generally trend downward as the x - value increases, indicating a negative relationship. The points are not perfectly aligned (so it's moderate, not strong) and show a general negative trend.
2. Analyze Option B: The points in B form a positive linear trend (upward as x increases), so it's a positive correlation, not negative.
3. Analyze Option C: The points in C seem to have no clear positive or negative trend (they are scattered without a general direction), so no significant correlation.
4. Analyze Option D: The points in D show a positive trend (upward as x increases), so it's a positive correlation, not negative.

Answer:

A
