Question

Which table shows a negative correlation?

A 2-row table with 6 columns. The first row is labeled x with entries 2, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12. The second row is labeled y with entries negative 8, negative 5, negative 6, negative 3, negative 2, negative 1.

Answer 1

That table shows a positive correlation, not a negative one. As x increases (2 → 12), y also increases (−8 → −1) overall, so x and y move in the same direction.
