Question
You are analyzing a scatter plot that has a negative correlation. Identify the statement that is true with the x and y values.
- As x increases, y decreases
- As x increases, y increases
- As x decreases, y decreases
- Can’t say
Hint:
If the points on a scatter plot move downwards from left to right, the relationship represented by the given scatter diagram between the 2 variables (represented on x-axis and y-axis) is a negative relationship.
The correct answer is: As x increases, y decreases
GIVEN-
Scatter diagram representing negative correlation.
TO FIND-
Correct statement from the given options.
SOLUTION-
We are given that the relationship between x and y variables represented by the given scatter plot is negative.
This means that if the independent variable (x-coordinate) increases, the corresponding y-coordinate i.e. dependent variable decreases and vice-versa.
FINAL ANSWER-
Option 'a' i.e. 'As x increases, y decreases' is the correct answer to the given question.
