Question

the scatter plot below contains a set of data points. identify the correlation on the scatter plot. show your work here

Explanation:

A positive correlation exists when an increase in one variable (the response variable here) is associated with an increase in the other variable (the explanatory variable). In a scatter - plot, this is shown by points that generally trend upwards from left to right. A strong correlation means the points are closely clustered around an imaginary line (a line of best fit). In the given scatter - plot, as the response variable increases, the explanatory variable also increases, and the points are relatively close to each other (not too spread out), indicating a strong relationship.

Answer:

Strong positive correlation
