A. Positive
B. Positive and negative
C. No correlation
D. Negative
Scatter plots can depict three correlations: positive, negative and no correlation. A positive correlation scatter plot reveals that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases as shown below
Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.

Q #1: The graph below represents the amount of rainfall in a particular state by month. Which of the following is the total rainfall for the first 5 months of the year?
A. 11 inches
B. 7.5 inches
C. 4.5 inches
D. 3.5 inches
Answer Explanation
The first five months of the year are January, February, March, April, and May. We use to graph to find the amount of rainfall in each month as follows:
In the month of January, rainfall was between o and 1, which is halfway. Therefore, rainfall in January is 0.5 inches
On February, rainfall was 1 inch and on March the rainfall was 2 inches.
On April, the rainfall amount was 4 inches while on month of May, the rainfall was about 3.5 inches. Therefore, total rainfall in the first 5 months was:
Total rainfall=0.5 inches+1 inches+ 2 inches+4 inches + 3.5 inches =11 inches

Q #2: A student performs the following estimations. 35+192 230 258+350 610 947+1032 1980 Based on these estimations, which of the following is the student’s estimate of 694+7618?
A. 8320
B. 8500
C. 8300
D. 8310
Answer Explanation
Here we need to find the actual values of the additions and see the trend the student will use to estimate the given problem. The exact sum is as follows
35+192
227258+350=608
947+1032=1979
From the above calculations, it is evident that the student rounds up or down the ones place values. So, in the problem we need to approximate 694+7618.
694+7618=8312
We can approximate 8312 based on the provided choices is 8310.

Q #3: One gallon of cleaning solution requires 10 oz of ammonia. If the maintenance department needs 51 gallons of solution to clean all of the floors, how much ammonia is needed?
A. 510 gallons
B. 51 gallons
C. 510 oz
D. 51 oz
Answer Explanation
We use given information to find how much ammonia is need to make the specified solution.
We are told, one gallon of cleaning solution requires 10 oz of ammonia. Expressing this mathematically yields two options:
\(\frac{10\ oz\ of\ ammonia}{1\ gallon\ of\ solution}\) or \(\frac{1\ gallon\ of\ solution}{10\ oz\ of\ ammonia}\)
Now we find how much ammonia is needed using option two.
\(51\ gallon\ of\ solution\ *\frac{10\ oz\ of\ ammonia}{1\ gallon\ of\ solution}\ =\ 510\ oz\ of\ ammonia\)
From the above equation, gallon of solution will cancel, and oz of ammonia is left.
Therefore, the solution will require 510 oz of ammonia.
