Question

Which statements correctly describe the association between the variables A and B?

Answer 1

Answer:

positive association

linear association

Step-by-step explanation:

It is said that two variables A and B are related when the distribution of the values of one of the two variables differs according to the values of the other.

That is, when variable A grows then variable B also grows. This is known as positive correlation

When variable A grows then variable B decreases. This is known as negative correlation.

In the scatter plot you may notice that when variable A increases then variable B also increases, in an approximately linear relationship. Therefore it can be said that there is a positive and linear association.

The answer is the fourth and fifth option.
