Question

A scatterplot has a positive, linear correlation. Which statement is true about the relationship between the x- and y-

values?
o As the x-values increase, the y-values tend to increase.
As the x-values increase, the y-values tend to decrease.
As the x-values decrease, the y-values tend to increase.
O As the x-values decrease, the y-values tend to vary randomly.

Answer 1

Hence, option: A is the correct answer.

A. As the x-values increase, the y-values tend to increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

A scatterplot has a positive, linear correlation.

By positive we means that as the x-value increases the y-value also keeps on increasing and by linear relation we mean that it increases somewhat by a constant amount so that the we get a line of best fit.

Hence, the statement which is true about the relationship between the x- and y-values is:

A. As the x-values increase, the y-values tend to increase.

Answer 2

a: As the x-values increase, the y-values tend to increase.
