Math Problem Statement

State whether the following Scatter plot has: 1 - Positive correlation 2 - Negative correlation 3 - No correlation

Solution

The scatter plot in the image shows a downward trend, where the points decrease as you move from left to right. This pattern is indicative of negative correlation (Option 2).

In a negative correlation, as one variable increases, the other decreases, which seems to be the case in the plot provided.

Would you like more details on correlation types or have any further questions?

Here are 5 related questions you can explore:

  1. What are the key differences between positive and negative correlation?
  2. How can scatter plots be used to visually determine correlation?
  3. What is the meaning of a strong vs. weak correlation in scatter plots?
  4. How does outlier data affect the appearance of scatter plots?
  5. Can a scatter plot show both correlation and causation?

Tip: Scatter plots are great for visually assessing the relationship between two variables, but remember that correlation does not imply causation!
