Question

Teams with varying numbers of players are playing a group card game. The time taken by each team to complete one game is given in the table. What is the relationship between the two variables? Number of Players on the Team Time Taken to Complete Game (in minutes) 1 32 2 26 3 20 4 14 5 8 A. positive linear association B. exponential relationship C. negative linear association D. no relationship

Answer 1

C. Negative Linear association

Explanation:

It makes perfect sense, so pick C

Answer 2

• C. negative linear association

Explanation:

We have ordered pairs:

• (1, 32), (2, 26), (3, 20), (4, 14), (5, 8)

Looking at the sequence of y-values:

• 32, 26, 20, 14, 8

We see it is the arithmetic progression with common difference of -6.

It means the function representing this relationship is linear.

Correct option is C.
