Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An inverse relationship means that as one variable increases, the other variable decreases. In this case, as educational level increases, death rates decrease. Therefore, people who attend college (higher educational level) live longer than those who have never attended college. Option a and b are not true, as they state the opposite of the inverse relationship.
