Which of the following statements about correlation is true?

a. -we say there is a positive correlation between x and y if there is no distinct pattern in the scatterplot
b. -we say that there is a positive correlation between x and y if the x-values increase as the corresponding y-values increase
c. -we say that there is a positive correlation between x and y if the x-vales increase as the corresponding y-values decrease
d. -we say that there is a negative correlation between x and y if the x-values increase as the corresponding y-values increase


Ans: b. -we say that there is a positive correlation between x and y if the x-values increase as the corresponding y-values increase
