Question

identifying outliers
complete the sentence and answer the question.
this graph has linear association.
what type of correlation is shown in the graph?
positive
negative
none

Explanation:

In a scatter - plot, a positive correlation means that as one variable (in this case, height \(x\)) increases, the other variable (temperature \(y\)) also tends to increase. A negative correlation means that as one variable increases, the other tends to decrease. When there is no clear pattern of increase or decrease in one variable with respect to the other, there is no correlation.
Looking at the scatter - plot, there is no clear upward or downward trend. The points are scattered in a way that does not show a consistent relationship between height (\(x\)) and temperature (\(y\)).

Answer:

none
