Which kind of relationship is shown in the following scatter plot? (1 point) Responses negative correlation negative correlation positive correlation positive correlation a direct relationship a direct relationship no trend

Answer 1

To determine the type of relationship shown in a scatter plot, you would typically look at the direction of the points.

• Negative correlation means that as one variable increases, the other variable decreases, leading to a downward trend.
• Positive correlation means that as one variable increases, the other also increases, leading to an upward trend.
• No trend means that the points are scattered without any discernible pattern or relationship.

Without seeing the actual scatter plot, I can't provide a definitive answer. However, you can use these definitions to analyze the scatter plot yourself. If the points trend downwards, it's a negative correlation. If they trend upwards, it's a positive correlation. If there’s no clear pattern, it would be categorized as no trend.
