When the pattern goes from the upper left corner of the graph to
the lower right corner, we say that there is a
_________________________ correlation between the two
variables: when the x -variable increases, the y -variable
decreases. - correct answer - If a scatterplot shows a pattern of
points that increase from the lower-left corner of the graph to the
, Page | 2
upper right corner, we say that there is a "positive" correlation
between the two variables: when the x -variable increases, the y -
variable increases.
When the pattern goes from the upper left corner of the graph to
the lower right corner, we say that there is a "negative" correlation
between the two variables: when the x -variable increases, the y -
variable decreases.
If a scatterplot has a pattern of points that form a reasonably
straight line, we describe it as linear. If the points form a pattern
that is more curved than straight, we say it
is_____________________ , or __________________. - correct
answer - "nonlinear, or curvilinear".
The pattern of points tells us about the strength of the correlation
between the variables. If the points form a ___________
_____________ pattern, we say there is a strong correlation
between the variables. If the points are ________________
scattered and are not tightly grouped, we say there is a weak
correlation or no correlation between the variables - correct
answer - tightly grouped pattern*
weak correlation* or no correlation between the variables

1) Strong Positive Linear Correlation ( Lower left corner to upper
right corner)
2) Strong Negative Linear Correlation ( Upper left corner to lower
right corner) - correct answer -
3) Very weak, correlation
4) nonlinear or curvilinear association - correct answer -
An ______________________* in a scatterplot is a point that
does not fit the overall trend of the other points. It is usually far
away from the other points and is easy to spot.
There may be more than one outlier, but if several points are
grouped together away from the majority of points, we call them
a_________________*, not outliers. Consider the following
scatterplot: - correct answer - Outlier*
Cluster*
Weak Negative Linear Relationship - correct answer -
