Question

how do the graphs compare?
○ they both have a positive correlation, but graph 1 has a stronger association.
○ they both have a positive correlation, but graph 2 has a stronger association.
○ they both have a strong association, but graph 1 has a positive correlation while graph 2 has a negative correlation.
○ they both have a strong assoication, but graph 1 has a negative correlation while graph 2 has a positive correlation.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Correlation Direction

Both graphs show a positive correlation (as x increases, y increases). Eliminate options with negative correlation.

Step2: Analyze Association Strength

Association strength is determined by how close points are to the line. Graph 2's points are closer to the line, so it has a stronger association.

Answer:

They both have a positive correlation, but Graph 2 has a stronger association.
