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 clear upward trend, where the points generally increase as you move from left to right. This indicates a positive correlation because as one variable increases, the other tends to increase as well.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

1 - Positive correlation.

  5. What can cause outliers in a scatter plot and how do they affect correlation?

Tip: Always check for patterns in scatter plots (like trends or clusters) to identify the type of correlation.
