Question

researchers observed the grouping behavior of deer in different regions. the following scatterplot shows data collected on the size of the group and the percent of the region that was woodland. the relationship between group size and percent woodland appears to be negative and nonlinear. which of the following statements explains such a relationship? a as the percent of woodland increases, the number of deer observed in a group decreases at a fairly constant rate.

Explanation:

The scatter - plot shows a negative relationship where as the percent of woodland increases, the group size of deer decreases. Since it is non - linear, the rate of decrease is not constant. Option A mentions a fairly constant rate which is incorrect for a non - linear relationship.

Answer:

None of the provided options (as only option A is shown and it is incorrect based on the non - linear nature of the relationship).
