Question

describe the correlation in the scatter plot below.
answer attempt 1 out of 2
the scatter plot shows
correlation because as
the plotted values of ( x ) increase, the values of ( y ) generally

Explanation:

In a scatter - plot, if as \(x\) increases, \(y\) generally increases, it is a positive correlation. If as \(x\) increases, \(y\) generally decreases, it is a negative correlation. If there is no clear pattern, it is no correlation. Here, as \(x\) increases, \(y\) generally increases.

Answer:

The scatter plot shows a positive correlation because as the plotted values of \(x\) increase, the values of \(y\) generally increase.
