Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

An important responsibility of each team member working on a team project is to complete assignments between meetings. This ensures that progress is made continuously, and that meetings can be focused on discussing completed work, making decisions, and planning the next steps. Regular completion of assignments is crucial for maintaining momentum and ensuring that the project stays on track.

Investigate the existing data on the project (B): This may be a task for some team members, but not the primary responsibility of all.

Review team progress periodically (C): This is typically the responsibility of the team leader or facilitator, not every team member.

Teach skills to the team during meetings (D): While sharing knowledge is valuable, it is not the primary responsibility of every team member.

A positive correlation in a scatter diagram occurs when increases on the x-axis relate to increases on the y-axis. This means that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases, indicating a direct relationship between the two. In a scatter plot, this relationship would be visualized as an upward-sloping trend of data points.

Increases on the x-axis relate to decreases on the y-axis (A): This describes a negative correlation.

Scattering of points in a triangular pattern (B): This does not describe a correlation.

Scattering of points in a circular pattern (D): This indicates no correlation or relationship between the variables.

I'm with Gerald on this one. The question is clear - a positive correlation means the variables move in the same direction.

Haha, a circular pattern? That's like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Definitely D, no doubt about it.

D) increases on the x-axis relate to increases on the y-axis. That's the classic positive correlation, right?
