Question

Paul records data that indicate that the number of hot chocolates sold at the concession standincreases as temperature outside decreases (for example, more hot chocolates are purchasedduring late fall than late spring). Which of the following statements is the most accurate depiction ofthis finding?There is a negative correlation between the two variables.

Answer 1

Answer:

There is a negative correlation between the two variables.

Explanation:

A negative correlation means that there is an inverse relationship between two variables - when one variable decreases, the other increases. And vice-versa . In the question, as temperature decreases, sales of chocolate increases, there is still inverse relationship between them so they are negatively correlated.
