Step 1

We should look at the trend of the points on the graph. If the points are going upwards from left to right, it indicates a positive relationship. If the points are going downwards from left to right, it indicates a negative relationship. If the points are Show more…

Key Concepts

Scatter Plot

A scatter plot is a graphical representation that shows the relationship between two quantitative variables. Each point on the plot represents an observation with its position determined by its values along two axes, helping to visualize patterns, trends, or correlations in the data.

Correlation

Correlation refers to the statistical relationship or association between two variables. It indicates how one variable changes as the other variable varies, which can be observed in the general direction of the points in a scatter plot.

Positive Correlation

Positive correlation is the type of relationship where an increase in one variable is generally associated with an increase in the other variable. In a scatter plot, this relationship is typically seen as an upward trend, meaning that higher values of one variable tend to coincide with higher values of the other.
