What is the difference between a scatter plot that has a constant correlation vs a positive correlation?

A.
A constant correlation increases upward, while a positive correlation does not.

B.
A constant correlation increases upward, while a positive correlation decreases to the left.

C.
A constant correlation neither increases nor decreases, while a positive correlation increases to the right.

D.
A constant correlation increases upward, while a positive correlation decreases.

Answer 1

C.

A constant correlation neither increases nor decreases, while a positive correlation increases to the right.

Explanation:

Constant correlation is a slope of zero (horizontal line)

Positive correlation shows a positive trend

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

A constant correlation is essentially when the points on a scatter plot do not show any type of pattern or correlation; the points are literally scattered rather randomly, which would cause the graph to neither increase nor decrease.

Meanwhile, a positive correlation means that the points on the plot follow a line with a positive slope. In other words, it increases to the right.

Thus, the answer is C.

Hope this helps!
