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, correlation is determined by the general trend of the data points. If as \(x\) increases, \(y\) decreases, it is a negative correlation. In the given scatter - plot, when we observe the movement of the data points from left (smaller \(x\) values) to right (larger \(x\) values), the \(y\) values are going down.

Answer:

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