Given the following question:

We are given variables K and I.

I is 150

K is 7

What is I when K is 14

7 * 2 = 14

Positive correlation means that the points both go up in a positive direction. The values increase.

Using:


\begin{gathered} I=(150)/(7)* k \\ k=14 \\ (150)/(7)=21.4285714*14=300 \\ =300 \end{gathered}

Your answer is the fourth option.
