Question

If the points plotted on a graph are scattered randomly, what is the correlation?

A. a weak negative correlation
B. a strong negative correlation
C. a weak positive correlation
D. a correlation of approximately 0

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

If points are scattered randomly in NO DOWNWARDS OR UPWARDS SLOPING PATTERNS, then that would mean there is no linear relationship between the input and output on the graph. When this happens, it would be called a zero correlation, where there is no linear correlation. Hope this helps!
