Question

Two variables have a positive non-linear correlation. Does the dependent variable increase or decrease as the independent variable increases? Dependent variable would remain the sameCannot determine from information givenDependent variable decreasesDependent variable increases

Answer 1

Since the correlation is not linear (non-linear), this means that the points tend to lie on a curve.

In addition, since the correlation is positive, we can assume that as one variable increases, the second variable also increases.

Hence, as the independent variable increases, the dependent variable also increases. (Option 4)
