Question

1. which correlation best describes the scatterplot below? a. positive correlation b. negative correlation c. no correlation d. cannot be determined

Explanation:

To determine the correlation, we analyze the scatterplot:

• A positive correlation has points trending up as the independent variable (x - axis) increases.
• A negative correlation has points trending down as x increases.
• In this scatterplot, the points are randomly distributed with no upward or downward trend. So, there's no correlation.

Answer:

C. no correlation
