Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The straight line AB shows a direct relationship between variable X and variable Y, where increasing values for X will cause the values of Y to also increase. This is known as a positive correlation between the two variables. Option A is incorrect as there is a relationship shown between the variables. Option B is incorrect as it suggests an inverse correlation between the variables, which is not supported by the exhibit. Option D is also incorrect as it suggests a negative correlation between the variables which is not shown in the exhibit.
