Which data set(s) slant top left to bottom right, as you go left to right along the graph? Select all that apply.
a. B
b. E
c. D
d. A
e. F

Answer 1

Data sets C and F slant from top left to bottom right on the graph. Therefore, the correct options are c. D and e. F.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which data sets slant from top left to bottom right as you go left to right along the graph, we need to consider the correlation coefficients of the data sets.

A positive correlation indicates that as one variable increases, the other variable also tends to increase.

Based on the provided correlations, data set C (correlation 0.789) and data set F (correlation 0.765) have positive correlations and will slant from top left to bottom right on the graph. Therefore, the correct options are c. D and e. F.
