Question

1. what type of correlation is shown? positive correlation negative correlation relatively no correlation

Explanation:

In a positive correlation, as the \(x -\)values increase, the \(y -\)values also tend to increase. Looking at the scatter - plot:

• When \(x=-3,y = - 1\); when \(x=-2,y = 1\); when \(x=-1,y = 2\); when \(x = 0,y=2\); when \(x = 1,y = 3\); when \(x=2,y = 4\).
• As \(x\) moves from left (smaller \(x\) - values) to right (larger \(x\) - values) on the coordinate plane, \(y\) generally moves from bottom (smaller \(y\) - values) to top (larger \(y\) - values).

Answer:

positive correlation
