Question: What kind of correlation does the statement describe?
"As the number of workers increases, the number of days required to complete a work decreases (assume each person work at same rate.)"


A ) Strongly positive correlation
B ) Positive correlation
C ) Negative correlation
D ) No correlation

Steps to derive

1 As the number of workers increases, the number of days required to complete the work decreases. This is true since each person is working at same rate.

2 As one set of data increases, the other set of data tends to decrease. So, the statement describes a negative correlation.



Hence the right answer is Option C
