Question

Which statement best describes the association between variable X and variable Y?

*weak negative association

*moderate negative association

*moderate positive association

*weak positive association

Answer 1

Weak negative association

Explanation:

because it is widely scattered, it is weak but in general it is negative

Answer 2

weak negative association

Explanation:

The association is negative because when variable x increase, variable y decrease.

Given that many points, like x = 1, x = 2, et cetera, have more than 1 y-value associated and those values are spread, the association is weak.
