The true statement is the correlation is most likely due to a lurking variable.
<h3>What is negative correlation?</h3>
Correlation is a statistical measure used to measure the relationship that exists between two variables. Negative correlation is when there is an inverse relationship between the two variables. If one variable increases, the other variable decreases.
Assume that the store is located near a school where the students live on an allowance. So, students do not have time to buy both computers and microwaves. When students buy computers they do not have enough money to buy microwaves. This explains the negative correlation.
The population in the above situation is the total number of students under Mr. Wilson.
A sample is a part of the population that may best represent the population. There is no sample in the above situation because Mr. Wilson made all students pick 5 note cards. He will be able to determine the performance of each student based on their performance in picking 5 note cards and defining the terms in each card.
