The data set displays a positive correlation. This means that as the walking distance increases, the time also increases.

How to explain

The data suggests a direct link between "Walking Distance" and "Time" - as distance increases, so does the time taken. Initially, the person maintains a steady 2 meters per second for the first 5 seconds.

Afterward, their pace might change, influencing the relationship between distance and time.

Simply put, walking further means more time taken. Initially, there's a consistent speed of 2 meters per second for 5 seconds, but the pace may vary later on.

The Complete Question

The data set and the solution are provided below.

Walking Distance (meters) Time (seconds) Speed (m/s)

10 5 2.00

20 10 2.00

30 15 2.00
