Question

1. which scatter plot best fits the description below? as the price of jeans, x, increase, the quantity of jeans sold, y, decreases. a. b. c.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the relationship

We need to find a scatter - plot where as \(x\) (price of jeans) increases, \(y\) (quantity of jeans sold) decreases. This is a negative correlation.

Step2: Examine each option

• Option A: The points show a negative trend. As \(x\) (assuming \(x\) - axis is price) increases, \(y\) (assuming \(y\) - axis is quantity sold) decreases.
• Option B: The points show a positive trend. As \(x\) increases, \(y\) increases.
• Option C: There is no clear trend (positive or negative).

Answer:

A.
