Exploring Association — Quiz

Question 8 • Geometry with Statistics

Who is correct and why?

Answer

Shelby is correct because the line of best fit matches the points as closely as possible with a weak correlation.

Ashik is correct because the points are a strong correlation to this nonlinear association.

Shelby is correct because the line of best fit has a negative slope and the trend shows a decrease in y values as the x values increase.

Ashik is correct because points with a weak correlation can never have linear association.
