Question

what is the correlation between length of running start and distance of jump? negative: the more you run the less distance you jump positive: the further your running start the less your distance positive: the further you run the further you jump negative: the less you run the less distance of your jump

Explanation:

Step1: Understand positive and negative correlation

Positive correlation: as one variable increases, the other also increases. Negative correlation: as one variable increases, the other decreases.

Step2: Analyze each option

• Green (negative: more run, less jump): Contradicts common sense (more run - more momentum - likely more jump).
• Purple (positive: further run start, less distance): Contradicts positive correlation definition.
• Orange (positive: further run, further jump): Follows positive correlation (more of one - more of the other).
• Turquoise (negative: less run, less jump): While this is a negative correlation in terms of direction (less - less), it's not the typical way positive/negative correlations are described in such contexts compared to the orange option which shows a direct positive relationship (more - more).

Answer:

Orange: positive: the further you run the further you jump
