Question

For the following data of marks of 7 students in physics (x) and Mathematics (y), draw scatter diagram and state the type of correlation.

x 8 6 2 4 7 8 9
y 6 5 1 4 4 7 8
Diagram

Solution

We take marks in Physics on X-axis and marks in Mathematics on Y-axis and plot the points as below.

We get a band of points rising from left to right. This indicates the positive correlation between marks in Physics and marks in Mathematics.
