Explanation of Solution
It is given in the question that every year US news and world report published issue on many U.S. colleges and universities. The scatterplots given in the question have student/faculty ratio on the y -axis are plotted against four other variables. The correlations are given as:
Now, from the first scatterplot of “over
And for the second scatterplot of “under
Now, from the third scatterplot of “Full time” we can observe that the ratio has increased a little. A pattern like this that runs from the lower left to the upper right is said to be positive. The points in the scatterplot is scattered more. Therefore, the scatterplot of “Full time” has a positive correlation value of
And for the fourth scatterplot of “Graduating” we can observe that the ratio has decreased. A pattern like this that runs from the upper right to the lower left is said to be negative. The points in the scatterplot is scattered more than the second one. Therefore, the scatterplot of “Graduating” has a negative correlation value of
