Question

the scatterplot shows real - world data from several drivers. each point represents the speed of a car and the time it took to reach the same destination.
what type of correlation is observed?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall correlation types

Positive correlation: as one variable increases, the other increases. Negative correlation: as one variable increases, the other decreases. No correlation: no clear pattern.

Step2: Analyze the scatter - plot

In the "TRAVEL TIME VS MAXIMUM CAR SPEED" scatter - plot, as the maximum car speed (x - axis) increases, the travel time (y - axis) decreases.

Answer:

Negative correlation.
