identifying correlation
match each scenario with the type of correlation it shows.
the time spent practicing and the number of free throws made
the height of baseball player and the number of hits made
the number of items bought and the checking account balance
no correlation
positive correlation
negative correlation

Explanation:

• As the time spent practicing increases, the number of free - throws made is likely to increase, so it's a positive correlation.
• A baseball player's height doesn't have a direct causal relationship with the number of hits made, so there is no correlation.
• As the number of items bought increases, the checking account balance is likely to decrease, so it's a negative correlation.

Answer:

• the time spent practicing and the number of free throws made: positive correlation
• the height of baseball player and the number of hits made: no correlation
• the number of items bought and the checking account balance: negative correlation
