Question

The following scatter plot represents the relationship between a person's weight and the number of calories the person burns in one minute of jump roping. What type of relationship is shown?

positive correlation
negative correlation
no correlation

Answer 1

Positive correlation.

Explanation:

This is a positive correlation. Because the dots don't jump around too much, they are steadily moving in one direction, so they have correlation.

But also, the dots are moving upwards, in a positive direction. So, that's why they have a positive correlation.

Answer 2

Positive correlation

Explanation:

The scatter plot shows a positive correlation because notice that the points show a linear-trend describing that when x-values (weight) increases then y-values (calories) also increases.
