Answer:
C) A negative association with the points connected
True we have a negative association explained by the inverse relationship and the points would be connected since we assume that we are analyzing the same car and the amount of gas left in the tank would decrease with more miles travel
Explanation:
For this case we have two variables x who represent the number of miles traveled and y the amount of gas left in the tank.
If we create a coordinate plane with a scatterplot of this info we will see that if we increase the number of miles traveled we would expect that the amount of gas in the tank would decrease. so then we will have an inverse relationship. If we analyze the options given we have:
A) A negative associations with the points not connected.
False probabily the points would be connected
B) A positive association with the points not connected
False the association is not positive since the relation is inverse
C) A negative association with the points connected
True we have a negative association explained by the inverse relationship and the points would be connected since we assume that we are analyzing the same car and the amount of gas left in the tank would decrease with more miles travel
D) A positive association with the points connected.
False the association is not positive since the relation is inverse
