A scatterplot:

height in inches
62, 74, 70, 67, 53, 58

shoes size
6, 13, 9, 11, 4, 7

DO the variables in this situation, height and shoe size, exhibit a positive correlation or a negative correlation? and why?

In this situation, a scatterplot with height and shoe size data shows a positive correlation. This means that as height increases, shoe size tends to increase as well. This can be observed by the general trend of the data points. As height increases, shoe size also tends to increase.
