Question

3. (06.01)The tables below show four sets of data:Set Ax123456789y1098765432Set Bx123456789y34567891011Set Cx123456789y86543.532.522Set Dx123456789y12.52.5345689For which set of data will the scatter plot represent a negative linear association between x and y? (4 points)Set ASet BSet CSet D

Answer 1

For the given sets of data will the scatter plot represent a negative linear association between x and y

The negative linear means as (x) increase (y) will decrease, this means a neagive slope of the line of the realtion between (x) and (y)

As shown for the given tables

Set B and Set D both (x) and (y) increase

And for set C as x increase y will decrease but with not a linear association

So, the answer will be Set A
