Writing an equation would be most helpful, but depending on the situation drawing a diagram or reading a table could work better.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It would be more obvious if it says z is a standard Normal variable and that the question is related to statistics.
From "Computing Probabilities Using the Cumulative Table" , the probability of z is less than 1.16, P(z<1.16) = 0.8770.
For it to be non-linear, the rate of change cannot be constant. For the first table the rate is a constant 1 and the second table has a constant rate of -1. The 3rd and 4th tables have no constant rate and thus are non-linear.
The 4th table is increasing while the 3rd table is decreasing.
So the 3rd table, Set C, is the only non-linear negative association between x and y.
