As x increases, y increases
- Correlation coefficient
- Causation
- Positive correlation
- Negative correlation
Hint:
If the movement of 2 variables (represented on x-axis and y-axis) is same (i.e. either both are increasing or both are decreasing), the given scatter plot is representing a positive relationship.
The correct answer is: Positive correlation
GIVEN-
Relationship between x and y variable- as x increases, y also increases.
TO FIND-
Nature of association between the given variables.
SOLUTION-
From the given information, we observe that the as the independent variable (x-variable) increases, the dependent variable (y-variable) also increases.
Hence, the given variables have a positive correlation.
FINAL ANSWER-
Option 'c' i.e. 'Positive correlation' is the correct answer to the given question.
