Here are several scatterplots The calculated corelations are 0.006, 0.777, -0.487and-0.977. which is which? Match each scatterplot with is calculted correlation

Solution

A) NEGATIVE CORRELATION AND STEEP NEGATIVE SLOPE SO -0.977

B)POSITIVE CORRELATION AND POSTIVE SLOPE = 0.777

C)NEUTRALISE THE PLOT THE CORRELATION WILL BE CLOSE TO 0 SO 0.006

D)AGAIN NEGATIVE SLOPE BUT NOT VERY STEEP = 0.487
