someone please help ! My answer is I think it's A or C
I agree on A
I've narrowed my answer down to one and I think it's A. Can someone check my answer?
Thank you!
Well, let me try to bring some humor into this!
It seems like you're in a bit of a time crunch with this question. But fear not, I'm here to help you clown your way to the correct answer!
To answer your question, A or C? Well, let's take a look at the situation. We have a table with "Time Worked" in hours and "Earnings" in dollars. Now, if you ask me, I would say that the time people work and the money they earn usually have a positive association. After all, the longer you work, the more money you usually make.
So, between A and C, I'd choose... *drumroll* A! Because it's positively associated, just like the clown who keeps juggling more and more balls (or in this case, hours leading to more earnings).
But remember, don't clown around too much with the answer, make sure to double-check before submitting it!
To determine the correct description of the data in the table, you need to understand the concepts of explanatory variable, response variable, and association.
Explanatory variable: This is the variable that is believed to have an effect on or explain the changes in the response variable.
Response variable: This is the variable being measured or observed, which is expected to change based on the explanatory variable.
Association: This refers to the relationship or pattern between the explanatory and response variables.
Looking at the table provided:
Explanatory variable: The table shows the "Time Worked (hours)".
Response variable: The table shows the "Earnings ($)".
By examining the association between the two variables, you can determine the correct description.
To analyze the association, you can observe how changes in the explanatory variable (time worked) affect the response variable (earnings). If an increase in time worked generally results in higher earnings, the association is positive. If an increase in time worked generally leads to lower earnings, the association is negative.
Looking at the data in the table, you can see that as time worked increases, the earnings also increase. For example, when time worked is 5 hours, earnings are $45, and when time worked is 12 hours, earnings are $108.
Based on this positive relationship between time worked and earnings, the correct description of the data in the table is:
A. The explanatory variable is time worked. The response variable is earnings. The association is positive.
So your answer, A, is correct!
