A project team member wrote a user guide over the past ten days. Given the following scatter diagram. Which of the following can be formally concluded?

The correct answer is C. There is a negative correlation with 6me and output. A scatter diagram is a statistical tool used to show the relationship (correlation) between two variables. If the data points on the diagram trend downward as time increases, this indicates a negative correlation between time and output - as time progresses, output decreases. A…

Explanation

A scatter diagram is a statistical tool used to show the relationship (correlation) between two variables. If the data points on the diagram trend downward as time increases, this indicates a negative correlation between time and output - as time progresses, output decreases. A scatter diagram can only formally conclude correlation, not causes like prioritization issues or performance problems, which would require further investigation.
