To fill in the statements correctly based on the characteristics of scatterplots:
-
For a scatterplot with a positive correlation:
- As the x-value increases, the y-value increases.
-
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.
