Question

Which phrase best describes the scatterplot below? strong negative correlation strong positive correlation weak negative correlation weak positive correlation

Answer 1

*the scatter plot of the question is attached below

Answer:

Strong negative correlation

Explanation:

In the scatter plot attached below, as the variable in the x-axis increases, the variable on the y-axis decreases. Thus, if a line of best fit is drawn, it would show a line that slopes downwards to our right. This shows a negative correlation between both variables in the scatter plot.

Also, we also see that the data points represented on the scatter plot are clustered more closely along the slope, showing strong negative correlation.

Therefore, the phrase that best describes the scatter plot is: strong negative correlation.
