Question

The tables below represent the profits earned by a merchandiser from four new consignments of t-shirts. Each consignment contained t-shirts of five different sizes. If we were to plot each of the t-shirt sizes and the profit earned on each new size, we would get a different graph for each consignment. Almost all the graphs showed some association between the two variables, except one consignment, which showed no association. Which of the following consignments shows no association?

Answer 1

The first consignment shows no association between the t-shirt size and the profit.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The first consignment shows no association between the t-shirt size and the profit.

In the second consignment, the bigger the t-shirt size, the smaller the profit. There is an inverse relationship between the two variables.

In the third and fourth consignment, the bigger the size, the larger the profit. There is a direct relationship between the two variables.
