A.) Shoppers tended to purchase the same amount of pounds of fruit as they did pounds of vegetables
B.)As the pounds of fruit purchased increases the pounds of vegetables purchased increases
C.)There is no association between the pounds of fruit purchased and the pounds of vegetables purchased
D.)As the pounds of fruit purchased increases the pounds of vegetables purchased decreases

Answer 1

Because there is no pattern in the graph, we conclude that there is no correlation between the two variables, thus, the correct option is C.

What statement correctly describes the graph?

In the horizontal axis, we can see the pounds of fruit bought, while on the vertical axis we can see the pounds of vegetables bought.

If you see the graph, you can see that there is no pattern. Meaning that there is no relation between these two quantities.

So there is no correlation between the variables "pounds of fruit bought" and "pounds of vegetables bought.".

Then the correct option is C.

"There is no association between the pounds of fruit purchased and the pounds of vegetables purchased"
