well 3x15= 45 and 15x17= 255 so 45+255= 300
Answer:
A. negative correlation
Step-by-step explanation:
Let two variables x and y, the correlation coefficient r measure to what degree the variables x and y are related.
--- If this coefficient is positive then the relationship will be positive. This means that even an increase in the variable x will produce an increase in the variable y. In the dispersion diagram the points will be grouped, simulating a line of positive slope.
--- If this coefficient is negative then the relation will be negative. This means that even an increase in the variable x will produce a decrease in the variable y. In the dispersion diagram the points will be grouped, simulating a negative slope line.
In the diagram shown it can be noted that as the variable x increases the variable y decreases.
Therefore it can be concluded that the correlation between x and y is negative. The correct option is option A
The way to do this question is : difference of the two sides < x < sum of the two sides. so for 1) 4 < x< 8
2) 8 < x< 16
3) 9 < x < 13
i’m pretty sure this is right! hope it helps!
