Question

classifying a correlation
which describes the correlation shown?
weak positive
moderate positive
strong positive
perfect positive

Explanation:

• A weak positive correlation would have points more scattered.
• A perfect positive correlation would have all points on a straight line.
• Here, the points are close to forming an upward - sloping pattern (positive), but not perfectly on a line. So it's not weak (too scattered) or perfect.
• A moderate positive correlation has points that follow an upward trend but not extremely tightly clustered (which would be strong).

Answer:

moderate positive
