Task 3 continued
1. Is there a trend in the data? Does there seem to be a positive correlation, a negative correlation, or neither?
Data: Year: 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021
Data: Gas prices: 3.421, 2.438, 2.216, 2.704, 2.513, 2.148, 2.956
To determine if there is a trend in the data and whether there is a positive or negative correlation, we need to analyze the relationship between the gas prices and the years for Uber and Lyft in Orlando, FL.
By examining the gas prices and the corresponding years, we can observe the following trend:
- Year 2015: Gas price is 3.421
- Year 2016: Gas price is 2.438
- Year 2017: Gas price is 2.216
- Year 2018: Gas price is 2.704
- Year 2019: Gas price is 2.513
- Year 2020: Gas price is 2.148

Based on this data, we can determine that there is no clear positive or negative correlation between the gas prices and the years. The data does not consistently indicate an upward or downward trend over the years.
