Question

Suppose that there is a negative correlation between the variables k and l. If l is 150 when k is 7, which of these is most likely to be the value of l when k is 14.A. 300B. 150C. 75D. 225

Answer 1

Answer:Explanation:

C. 75

n cthe oomparison of variables, a negative correlation means that as the value of one of the variables increases, the value of the other variable decreases.

Given the variables k and l.

• L=150 when k = 7

,

• L=? when k=14

The variable k has increased.

Thus, to satisfy the condition for a negative correlation, the variable, l must decrease.

Thus, the only likely possible value of l is 75.

Option C is correct.
