Question

1. Look at the following correlation scatter plot. What type of a correlation is it?

b. Positive correlation
c. Zero correlation
d. All of the above

Answer 1

Scatter plot is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

C : zero correlation

Explanation:

A correlation is said to be negative between two variables when they are related in such a manner that when one variable increases, the other variable decreases and vice versa.

However, a correlation is said to be Positive when one variable increases as the other increases as well and vice versa which means they both move in the same direction.

However, in the image of the scatter plot attached, we see that it is neither positive or negative correlation as there is no clear visible relationship between the variables on the x and y axis.

Thus, we can say there is zero correlation.
