Question

A basketball coach thinks that as his team progresses through the season, his players are not scoring as many points as they were in the previous weeks. He uses a table to record the number of points that his team scores for the first ten weeks of the season. First drop down box answers( positive,negative, or no correlation) second drop down box (correct or incorrect)

​

Answer 1

The coach believes there is a negative correlation between the progression of the season and the decrease in points scored by his team.

Step-by-step explanation:

The coach believes there is a correlation between the progression of the season and the decrease in points scored by his team. To determine the correlation, the coach can create a scatter plot using the data from the table. If the points scored decrease as the weeks progress, there will be a negative correlation between the variables.

The first drop down box answer is negative correlation and the second drop down box answer is correct.
