Question

john is trying to find the relationship between a students age and the number of pets that he or she owns. he collects data from a random sample of students at his high school. he plots the data on a scatter plot. what relationship between age and number of pets is john most likely to see? a. constant b. negative c. positive d. no correlation

Explanation:

There is no inherent reason for a student's age to have a consistent positive, negative, or constant relationship with the number of pets they own. Different students have different family situations, personal preferences, and other factors that influence pet - ownership, so there is likely no correlation.

Answer:

D. no correlation
