Question

Give examples of two variables that have a perfect positive linear correlation and two variables that have a perfect negative linear correlation.

Answer 1

Answer:

answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

1. price per gallon of gasoline and total cost of gasoline

2. distance from a door and height of a wheelchair ramp

perfect positive linear relationship:

this is a relation that exists between two variables. The pearson correlation is used to check this relationship and if the relationship is 1.0 then it is established that a positive linear relationship exists

negative linear relationship

this is a relationship between variables where the pearson correlation is less than 0. if the value is -1.0 then a negative linear relatioship exists.

price per gallon of gasoline and total cost of gasoline move in the same direction so it is positive.

distance from a door and height of a wheelchair ramp are negative because they do not move in the same direction.
