Question

14 the figure is a scatterplot of ordered pairs relating the number of centimeters of rain a city received and the percentage of sunshine. what type of correlation is shown by this data? there is no correlation strong negative strong positive weak negative

Explanation:

In a scatter - plot, a negative correlation means that as one variable (here, percentage of sunshine) increases, the other variable (centimeters of rain) decreases. A strong correlation would have points closely following a trend line, while a weak correlation has points more spread out. Here, as the percentage of sunshine increases, the centimeters of rain decrease (negative), but the points are not extremely tightly clustered (weak).

Answer:

weak negative
