Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Is the correlation positive or negative;

$\text{Positive}$

Is the correlation linear or non linear;

$\text{Non linear}$

Explanation:

Given the data in the attached image.

let us plot the data on the table on the scattered plot.

Assume that the first column is the x axis and the second column is the y axis;

Since the graph does not form a linear or straight line plot, then it is not linear.

As the x axis increases, the y axis also increases, so, it is a positive correlation.

Therefore;

Is the correlation positive or negative;

$\text{Positive}$

Is the correlation linear or non linear;

$\text{Non linear}$
