Module 10 Relationships Between Variables

We wish to investigate the relationship between the number seeds planted in a garden and the number of fruit grown. The explanatory variable (EV) is

• The number of fruit grown

• The amount of soil in the garden

• The number of hours spent watering the plants

• The number of seeds planted

We wish to investigate the relationship between the time spent shopping and the number of items bought. The response variable (RV) is

• The number of items bought

• The number of items at the shop

• The time spent shopping

• The time spent getting to the shops

The scatterplot shows the airspeed (in km/h) and the number of seats, of 16 commercial aircraft. Which of the following statements best matches the scatterplot?

• There is no relationship between the airspeed of an aircraft and the number of seats.

• There is a strong negative linear relationship between the airspeed of an aircraft and the number of seats.

• There is a strong positive non-linear relationship between the airspeed of an aircraft and the number of seats.

• There is a strong positive linear relationship between the airspeed of an aircraft and the number of seats.
