Question

the 1997 single by notorious big \mo money mo problems\ notes that \its like the more money we come across/the more problems we see.\ this lyric hypothesizes a ______ correlation between income and problems.

zero

strong

positive

negative

Explanation:

To determine the correlation, we analyze the lyric: "the more money we come across/The more problems we see" means as income (money) increases, problems also increase. A positive correlation exists when two variables move in the same direction (both increase or both decrease). Zero correlation means no relationship, strong describes the strength (not the direction here), and negative is when one increases and the other decreases. So the lyric shows a positive correlation.

Answer:

C. positive
