Question

Jared surveyed a random sample of elementary students and collected data about their age and hours of homework per week. If he plots his data on a scatterplot, what relationship will he most likely see?

O A positive correlation
O A negative correlation
O A constant correlation
O No correlation

Answer 1

Option 1). Jared will most likely see a positive correlation on his scatterplot, indicating that as the age of the students increases, so does the number of hours they spend on homework per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jared will probably observe a positive correlation if he surveys a random sample of primary school children, gathering information on their age and the number of hours they spend on homework each week, and then plotting this data on a scatterplot. Children usually go through higher classes as they become older, and this results in an increase in the number and complexity of homework. As a result, compared to younger pupils, older students typically devote more hours each week to their homework. This relationship will typically demonstrate that the other variable (the number of homework hours) increases as the first variable (age) does.
