Which of the following BEST describes whether the relationship is strong or weak, and why it is that way?

Question

A. The relationship is strong because the points model a straight line or curved pattern.
B. The relationship is strong because the points do not model a curved line or straight pattern.
C. The relationship is weak because the points do not model a straight line or curved pattern
D. The relationship is weak because the points model a straight line or curved pattern.

Answer 1

A. The relationship is strong because the points model a straight line or curved pattern.

This is the best description because a strong relationship is typically indicated by data points that follow a clear trend or pattern, such as a straight line or a curved shape. In contrast, a weak relationship is often indicated by data points that do not follow any discernible pattern.
