Adam would like to buy a used car,and collected several data to evaluate the best model (such as age,price,weight,etc.) Thanks to a scatterplot,he established that the relation between age and weight is somewhat linear.He calculated that the correlation between age and weight is 0.515.Describe the association.

A) Weak linear relation
B) No evidence of relation
C) Weak linear relation in a positive direction
D) Weak linear relation in a negative direction
E) Strong linear relation in a positive direction

Scatterplot

A type of graph used in statistics to display and analyze the relationship between two continuous variables, with dots representing data points.

Correlation

A statistical measure that indicates the extent to which two or more variables fluctuate in relation to each other.

Weight

A measure of the heaviness of an object, often quantified using units such as kilograms or pounds.

  • Discern diverse forms of connections, including linear and exponential, amid variables displayed in scatterplots.
  • Perceive the importance of correlation in appraising the strength and orientation of connections between variables.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
A correlation coefficient of 0.515 indicates a weak positive linear relationship between age and weight. As age increases, weight tends to increase, but the relationship is not very strong.
