Question

How could the relationship of the data be classified?

scatter plot with points distributed all over quadrant 2
A. A fairly strong positive correlation
B. A fairly weak positive correlation
C. A fairly weak negative correlation
D. No correlation

Answer 1

Answer: No correlation.

Explanation:

• A correlation is a measure of the relationship between two quantitative variables .

1. A positive correlation indicates that both variables increases or decreases simultaneously.
2. A negative correlation indicates that if one variable increases then the other decreases.

The both pattern follows a path in a certain direction.

When there is no direction of path followed by the points , then it indicates there is no correlation between the variables.

Given : Scatter plot with points distributed all over quadrant 2, it means no direction of path was followed by the points.

So, the relationship of the data be classified as no correlation.
