Question

How would you characterize the relationships between the hours spent on homework and the test scores?

Answer 1

Answer:

There is a positive correlation between the number of hours spent on homework and the test scores.  So, the more homework you do, the better your test score.  

Step-by-step explanation:

The data given is representative of a scatter plot, which shows a relationship with two sets of data that, when using a line of best fit, will show either a positive correlation (increasing), a negative correlation (decreasing) or no correlation (the data shows no overall pattern).  In this case, you can see that the overall pattern of data is increasing, or a positive correlation.  Which means that, in general, the more hours of homework you do, the more likely you are to receive a better test score.
