Question

What type of correlation is shown in the graph?
no correlation
positive
negative

Answer 1

Positive correlation

Explanation:

If both variables are either increasing or decreasing, then it is a positive correlation.

If one is increasing and one is decreasing, then it is a negative.

There is no correlation if there is no clear trend.

Since in this graph, both x (age) and y (weight) are increasing, we know that it is a positive correlation.
