Question

1 the number of hours worked, x, and the total dollars earned, y, have a strong, positive relationship. explain what it means to have a strong, positive relationship in this situation.

Explanation:

A strong, positive relationship means that as the number of hours worked (\(x\)) increases, the total dollars earned (\(y\)) also increases significantly. The data points would cluster closely around an upward - sloping line (if plotted on a scatter - plot), showing a clear pattern of co - movement in the same direction.

Answer:

As the number of hours worked (\(x\)) goes up, the total dollars earned (\(y\)) goes up significantly, with data points closely following an upward trend.
