To fill in the statements correctly based on the characteristics of scatterplots:

  1. For a scatterplot with a positive correlation:

    • As the x-value increases, the y-value increases.
  2. For a scatterplot with a negative correlation:

    • As the x-value increases, the y-value decreases.

So, the completed statements would be:

  • As the x-value increases, the y-value increases in a scatterplot with a positive correlation.
  • As the x-value increases, the y-value decreases in a scatterplot with a negative correlation.
