Question

according to graph 1, which of the following describes the relationship between large wildlife sightings and city population? positive, stronger relationship positive, weaker relationship negative, weaker relationship negative, stronger relationship

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the trend of the scatter - plot

As the city population (x - axis) increases, the number of large wildlife sightings (y - axis) decreases. A negative relationship is when one variable increases and the other decreases.

Step2: Analyze the strength of the relationship

The points are not tightly clustered around the line of best - fit. If the points were tightly clustered, it would be a stronger relationship. Since they are more spread out, it is a weaker relationship.

Answer:

Negative, weaker relationship
