8. The following scatterplot contains twenty observations for two generic variables, “x” and “y”.

Based on this scatterplot, would you classify the relationship between x any y as being Positive, or Negative, or Null? Why?

There is a Negative relationship between “x” and “y”. Clearly “y” tends to decrease as “x” increases (that is, the two variables tend to move in opposite directions). Note: In this scatterplot I changed the value at which the horizontal axis and the vertical axis cross (i.e., the graph’s origin; it is not the “usual” x=0 and y=0), the minimum and maximum values of each axis, and the size of the gaps between tic marks on each axis. Sometimes you see that in real-world applications ... which is why I did it here!

9. The Excel data file “Tax Cost” (which is with the rest of this week’s stuff on Moodle) contains the cost paid by families to have their income taxes prepared in the USA.
