Answer 1

B. In the table, y increases from left to right. Data with y-values that increase from left to right on a table show a positive correlation or association. However, the error in the description is that not all adjacent y-values differ by the same amount, which means that the rate of change of y is not constant. The corrected statement would be: In the table, y increases from left to right, indicating a positive association between x and y. However, the rate of change of y is not constant, indicating a non-linear relationship between x and y.
