Question

Figure out the correlation in the following scatter plot.

• A. Negative correlation
• B. Positive correlation
• C. No/zero correlation

Answer 1

The correct option is A Negative correlation

In the given scatter plot, with an increase in the independent variable in $x$-axis, the values of the dependent variable in $y$-axis decrease. Hence, the variable in $x$-axis and the variable in $y$-axis are $\underset{–}{\text{negatively correlated}}$.
