To determine which pattern the points would be clustered in if a negative correlation between two sets of scores is displayed as a scatterplot, we need to understand what a negative correlation means.
A negative correlation means that as one variable increases, the other variable decreases, or vice versa. In a scatterplot, the points represent the relationship between the two variables.
In this case, if there is a negative correlation, the points would be clustered in a pattern that extends from the upper left to the lower right of the plot. This means that as one variable increases, the other variable decreases, creating a downward-sloping line.
