Question

B. There is a negative correlation in the data set

C. There is no correlation In the data set

D. more points are needed to determine the correlation

Answer 1

Answer its A

Explanation:

Answer 2

A. There is a positive correlation in the data set

Explanation:

First, we need to determine if there is a correlation or not, this means that the points in the scatter plot follow a specific pattern or not. This scatter plot does appear to follow a linear pattern, therefore the answer must be A or B. Next, we evaluate if there is a positive or negative correlation based on if the pattern of the points is increasing or decreasing, based on the graph, it appears to be increasing so we can determine that there is a positive correlation. Based on these, we can determine that A is the correct answer.
