Sample 1difficulty 2/5
A scatter plot shows that as study hours increase, test scores increase. This indicates:
- A
Negative association
- B
Exponential decay
- Ccheck_circle
Positive association
- D
No association
Why
When both variables increase together, the association is positive.
- A
Sample 2difficulty 2/5
A scatter plot of car age (years) vs. car value (dollars) shows points trending downward from left to right. This is:
- Acheck_circle
Negative association
- B
No association
- C
Exponential growth
- D
Positive association
Why
As age increases, value decreases — a negative association.
- A
Sample 3difficulty 3/5
Using , what does the y-intercept 100 represent?
- A
Hourly wage
- B
Hours worked
- C
Maximum cost
- Dcheck_circle
Cost when no hours are worked
Why
The y-intercept gives the value of when — the fixed cost.
- A
