Question

identify from the graph if there is correlation, and whether it is positive or negative
there is a correlation, and it is positive.
there is a correlation, and it is negative.
there is no correlation.

Explanation:

In a scatter - plot, a positive correlation means that as \(x\) increases, \(y\) also increases. A negative correlation means that as \(x\) increases, \(y\) decreases. If there is no discernible pattern (i.e., the points are randomly scattered), there is no correlation. Looking at the given scatter - plot, the points are randomly scattered. There is no clear trend of \(y\) increasing or decreasing as \(x\) increases.

Answer:

There is no correlation.
