Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

One would expect that the more errors a player makes, the lower their salary would be, as errors can directly affect the outcome of games and indicate a lack of skill or effort on the player's part. Therefore, there would be a negative correlation between number of errors and salary. The other choices do not necessarily have a clear correlation and could vary among players and teams.
