Explanation:

• The time spent practicing and the number of free throws made: As the time spent practicing increases, the number of free throws made is likely to increase. This is a positive correlation.
• The number of items bought and the checking account balance: As the number of items bought increases, the checking account balance is likely to decrease (assuming the items are paid for from the checking account). This is a negative correlation.
• The height of a baseball player and the number of hits made: There is no inherent relationship between a baseball player's height and the number of hits they make. This is no correlation.

Answer:
