what association would you expect if you were graphing height and weight
a- positive
b- non-linear
c- negative
d- none of these
my answer is a
A
taller people usually weigh more
for similar objects volume goes up proportional to cube of the length dimension. Of course people are not always mathematically similar in shape but never the less:
------ my answer is b
To determine the association between height and weight when graphing the data, you can follow these steps:
1. Collect data: Gather information about individuals' heights and weights. Ensure that you have paired data, meaning you have the height and weight for each individual.
2. Create a scatter plot: Plot the data points on a graph, with height on the x-axis and weight on the y-axis. Place each individual's height and weight as a single point on the graph.
3. Analyze the scatter plot: Look at the pattern formed by the points on the graph. Determine the overall trend or association between the two variables.
In this case, if the scatter plot shows that as height increases, weight also tends to increase, then the association would be positive. This means that taller individuals generally have higher weights. Therefore, in terms of the options provided, your answer of "a - positive" is correct.
