Question

A hotel manager records the number of bookings made at various prices during July.

What type of correlation does the graph show?

A. strong positive correlation

B. weak positive correlation

C. strong negative correlation

D. weak negative correlation

E. no correlation

Answer 1

C. strong negative correlation

Explanation:

I would say the answer is C. a strong negative correlation.

Firstly, the graph is 'going downwards', meaning that the relationship is negative. This is because one variable decreases when the other is increased. I think it is a strong relationship because the trend is quite clear through the points and the slope is moderately steep.

Hope this helped!
