Question

construct a scatter plot of number of people and number of handshakes based on the scatterplot take the correct option corresponding to the statement in the first column

Answer 1

Is the correlation positive or negative;

`\text{Positive}`

Is the correlation linear or non linear;

`\text{Non linear}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the attached image.

let us plot the data on the table on the scattered plot.

Assume that the first column is the x axis and the second column is the y axis;

Since the graph does not form a linear or straight line plot, then it is not linear.

As the x axis increases, the y axis also increases, so, it is a positive correlation.

Therefore;

Is the correlation positive or negative;

`\text{Positive}`

Is the correlation linear or non linear;

`\text{Non linear}`
