Positive linear relationships are those where the dependent variable increases on the Y axis and the independent variable increases on the X axis

There is a strong positive linear correlation between rainfall and the number of oranges a tree produces. Does this mean that more rainfall causes orange trees to produce more fruit?A.Yes. Since rainfall and number of oranges are positively correlated, this means that more rainfall causes orange trees to produce more fruit.B.Yes. Since rainfall and number of oranges are linearly correlated, this means that more rainfall causes orange trees to produce more fruit.C.No. Any number of factors could also be affecting the number of oranges produced.D.No. Since rainfall and number of oranges are linearly correlated, this means that more rainfall causes orange trees to produce less fruit.SUBMITarrow_backPREVIOUS

In a study of 30 high school students, researchers found a high correlation, 0.93, between amount of exercise and weight lost.  Which of the following statements is TRUE?The researchers proved that exercise causes weight loss, but only for high school students. There is a strong positive linear association between weight loss and exercise, but the researchers have not proven causation. 93% of the high school students studied lost weight. The researchers proved that exercise causes weight loss.

What does a negative linear relationship between an input variable and an output variable imply?1 pointThat as the input increases, the output decreases at about the same rate.That as the input increases, the output decreases at an ever-increasing rate.The output does not adequately explain the input.That as the input increases, the output increases at about the same rate.
