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, a positive correlation is identified when, as the \(x\) - values increase, the \(y\) - values also tend to increase. Looking at the given scatter - plot, as the \(x\) values (horizontal axis) go from left (smaller \(x\)) to right (larger \(x\)), the \(y\) values (vertical axis) show an upward trend.

Answer:

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