Question

please match the correct term to the definition.
variability
any characteristic or factor that can be controlled, measured, or changed
the amount of spread between data points
a relationship between two variables in which one decreases while the other increases
a non - random change over time or space in which the value of a variable increases
a relationship between two variables in which change in one variable causes a change in the other
a non - random change over time or space in which the value of a variable decreases
referring to change over time
a relationship between two variables in which one variable increases and the other increases or the

Explanation:

Variability refers to the amount of spread between data - points. Temporal means referring to change over time. A positive trend is a non - random change over time or space in which the value of a variable increases. A negative trend is a non - random change over time or space in which the value of a variable decreases. Inverse correlation is a relationship between two variables in which one decreases while the other increases. Direct correlation is a relationship between two variables in which one variable increases and the other increases or they both decrease. Causation is a relationship between two variables in which change in one variable causes a change in the other. A variable is any characteristic or factor that can be controlled, measured, or changed.

Answer:

variability: the amount of spread between data points
temporal: referring to change over time
positive trend: a non - random change over time or space in which the value of a variable increases
negative trend: a non - random change over time or space in which the value of a variable decreases
inverse correlation: a relationship between two variables in which one decreases while the other increases
direct correlation: a relationship between two variables in which one variable increases and the other increases or they both decrease
causation: a relationship between two variables in which change in one variable causes a change in the other
variable: any characteristic or factor that can be controlled, measured, or changed
