## anonymous one year ago How can the correlation in the scatter plot graph below best be described? positive correlation negative correlation both positive and negative correlation no correlation https://static.k12.com/eli/bb/1211/6_69036/2_36656_1_69037/3d2b8ec456d2f28fe044d54fe6fb40be934894e4/media/f963df4112ccc19d673952585b1ba9f97faac34b/mediaasset_1277162_1.jpg

As it increases from 0 to 10 in one direction, it is an ?? Positive correlation: Both variables move in the same direction. In other words, as one variable increases, the other variable also increases. As one variable decreases, the other variable also decreases. i.e., years of education and yearly salary are positively correlated. Negative correlation: The variables move in opposite directions. As one variable increases, the other variable decreases. As one variable decreases, the other variable increases. i.e., hours spent sleeping and hours spent awake are negatively correlated. @JessyIsHere
