Question

which scenarios have a negative correlation? check all that apply. the number of calories consumed and the amount of weight lost by a person the temperature outside and the number of pool guests the number of children assigned to a class and the number of desks the price of rice and the number of penguins at the south pole the thickness of the ice on a lake and the likelihood of falling through the ice

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze each scenario

• Calories consumed and weight lost:
• More calories consumed usually means less weight lost (negative correlation).
• Temperature outside and pool guests:
• Higher temperature usually means more pool guests (positive correlation).
• Children in class and desks:
• More children usually means more desks (positive correlation).
• Rice price and penguins:
• No logical relationship (no correlation).
• Ice thickness and falling through:
• Thicker ice means less likelihood of falling through (negative correlation).

Answer:

• the number of calories consumed and the amount of weight lost by a person
• the thickness of the ice on a lake and the likelihood of falling through the ice
