Question

A group of students plotted the number of hours they worked and the number of hours they spent talking to their friends on the phone in a month.
Graph shows 0 to 60 on x axis and y axis at increments of 10. The label on the x axis is Monthly Hours Worked, and the label on the y axis is Monthly Hours Talking on Phone. Dots are made at the ordered pairs 13, 57 and 15, 55 and 18, 49 and 24, 39 and 25, 42 and 32, 39 and 36, 33 and 38, 25 and 44, 32 and 45, 23 and 47, 18 and 51, 11.

Which statement best describes the relationship between the number of hours spent working and the number of hours spent talking on phone?


A: Fewer hours worked, fewer hours spent talking on the phone
B: Greater hours worked, greater hours spent talking on the phone
C:Greater hours worked, fewer hours spent talking on the phone
D:There is no relationship between hours spent working and hours spent talking on the phone.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C:Greater hours worked, fewer hours spent talking on the phone.

Answer 2

Answer:

C:Greater hours worked, fewer hours spent talking on the phone

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a  group of students plotted the number of hours they worked and the number of hours they spent talking to their friends on the phone in a month.

Given that dots are made at  the ordered pairs 13, 57 and 15, 55 and 18, 49 and 24, 39 and 25, 42 and 32, 39 and 36, 33 and 38, 25 and 44, 32 and 45, 23 and 47, 18 and 51, 11.

We see that whenever x increases y decreases.

Hence there is a negative association.

C:Greater hours worked, fewer hours spent talking on the phone
