Identify the correlation you would expect to see between theaverage winter temperature and the number of days with snow.a. no correlation b. constant correlation c. positive correlationd. negative correlation

Answer 1

d. negative correlation

Explanation:

Two variables are positive correlated when one goes up or down the other goes in the same direction and they are negative correlated when one goes up or down the other variable goes in the other direction.

In this case, the higher the temperature rises, the less snow. Therefore we have a negative correlation
