Detailed Solution & Explanation

**Scatter diagram interpretation:** When plotted points lie from **lower left to upper right**: - As X\displaystyle X increases (moving right), Y\displaystyle Y also increases (moving up) - Both variables move in the **same direction** - This pattern indicates a **positive correlation** (r>0\displaystyle r > 0) **Direction-Correlation Relationship:** - Lower-left to upper-right \displaystyle \Rightarrow **Positive** correlation - Upper-left to lower-right \displaystyle \Rightarrow Negative correlation - Random scatter \displaystyle \Rightarrow Zero correlation Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
