Question

Describe the correlation in the scatter plot below.----------------The scatter plot shows (positive linear, positive linear with one outlier, negative linear, negative linear with one outlier, nonlinear, or no) correlation because as the plotted values of x increase, the values of y generally (decrease, increase, show no pattern or follow a nonlinear pattern).

Answer 1

A scatter plot shows a positive correlation when the values of y tend to increase as the values of x increases.

From this scatter plot, we can see that as the values of x increase, the values of y also increase. Therefore, this scatter plot shows a positive linear correlation.

An outlier is the the dot which doesn't fit with other dots or is far away from the rest of the dots. Here, we have one outlier.

Therefore, we can say the scatter plot shows positive linear with one outlier correlation because as the plotted values of x increase, the values of y generally increase.

ANSWER:

The scatter plot shows positive linear with one outlier correlation because as the plotted values of x increase, the values of y generally increase.
