Question

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

perfect negative association

perfect positive association

moderate negative association

moderate positive association

Answer 1

Moderate positive association

Explanation:

Given is a scatter graph with points marked on the graph. The x axis shows the dependent variable and y axis the independent variable

From the graph we see that there seems to be a linear relationship but not fully perfect. Because so many points deviate from the line we can only say that there is a moderate association.

Whenever x increases y increases also the linear regression line of fit has a positive scope.

Hence there is a positive association between variable x and variable Y.

So option 4 is right

Moderate positive association

Answer 2

As shown in the graph y variables increases with the increase in x variables, so it is positive association.

By graphing a line between the points providing that it will in the middle towards up, it will be a moderately positive association.

The correct answer is the fourth option.
