Question

The graph shown below displays thechange in the number of hurricanes thatoccurred over time.Which statement is the best description ofthe association between these variables?Choose 1 answer:A) As time went by, the number of hurricanestended to increase.B) As time went by, the number of hurricanestended to decrease.C) There is no clear relationship between timeand the number of hurricanes thatoccurred.

Answer 1

From the graph, it can be observed that number of hurricanes decreases as well as increases with increase in time (year since 1970). All points are distributed over the graph. So specific relation between number of hurricanes and time (year since 1970) can not be determined.

Thus option C is correct.
